Conference format
Access the presentation videos and Zoom discussion links here.
The access code and program link will be sent to all registered participants on Thursday, September 30. Please type the access code, as copy-paste does not always work. If you do not receive the link, please email the conference hosts: Elizabeth Peterson or Eeva Sippola.
Only the two keynote presentations will be aired live in real time. The rest of the workshop is discussion based. The pre-recorded regular presentations will not be shown live during the workshop. Watch the pre-recorded videos/view the posters before the live discussion sessions. The series of eight live discussion sessions and the live keynote presentations will take place October 6–9. During the discussion sessions, presenters will have the opportunity to talk more about their work, discuss topics with colleagues who have presented on similar topics and take additional questions. The aim is to maximize the time for discussion and interaction. No presentations are given in these sessions, so participants should watch the recorded presentations in advance.
We will also have social activities as part of the program, including an immigration tour of Helsinki prepared by the WILA 12 conference assistants:
