Meeting location

Due to reconstruction of the Neurology building, the meeting will take place a short walk away. We will have signs posted showing the way from the Neurology building.

Registration, coffee, and poster sessions will be held at the entrance to Nord2, A floor. Lectures will be in Nord 1, C floor, Room 301.

meeting location

Poster boards will accept A0, portrait format.

Poster Blitz's are 2 minutes each, and up to 3 Power Point slides.
