Speakers meetup

Poster exhibition with impulse talks

Do you still have unresolved questions?

The poster exhibition is combined with a 5-minute talk.

You can address your questions to the speakers right after the lecture during the coffee
break. Take the chance to say hello to your favorite speaker and to connect with them. They
will be available for at least 15 minutes after their session.

The compact style of presentation called the ‘5-minute rapid’ presentation, will provide youwith all information in a clear, succinct manner. Poster presentations are scheduled during
the coffee breaks. Presentation times will be announced on-site.

Two gear community nights
Your networking hotspot for the international gear community!
Enjoy the evening reception at the ‘Löwenbräukeller’ as well as another social event at
the university. The ‘Löwenbräukeller’ is a restaurant with a long tradition offering modern
Bavarian cuisine.
Both – the get-together at the FZG and the brewery visit – offer you an excellent opportunity
to network with your peers and catch up on trends.
