Demo Sessions
Room: Le Foyer
All demos will be presented altogether in different timing on Tuesday June 25 and Wednesday June 26. No demo Session is planned on June 27. They take place in Le Foyer next to the Auditorium and it will also serve for coffee and Lunch breaks.
Though demos can be presented during coffee and lunch breaks, we invite the presenters to mainly make their demo during the extended time slots:
- Tuesday June 25, from 5:45p.m. and during the Welcome Reception. We believe this would be an excellent opportunity to show demos in a relaxed atmosphere, attracting a lot of people.
- Wednesday June 26, 3:00-4:30 p.m. during a specific demo Session
The demos accepted are the following:
