Dear EDBT/ICDT participant,
The aim of this mail is to provide you with more information regarding the EDBT/ICDT ONLINE conference. It will take place on the same days that we had planned for the physical meeting in Copenhagen, that is, March 30 to April 2. We will stick with the same (parallel) sessions, but sessions will be reordered. Moreover, the length of all talks will be SHORTENED and thus also sessions will be shorter. The new schedule will be centered around lunchtime central European time and hopefully allow also participants from other time zones to attend. Details follow in due course.
The reason for shortening is that we expect it to be too tiring to attend an entire day of streaming presentations and that it would be impossible for people from far away time zones to attend early and late sessions. The new talk lengths are:
Talks will be pre-recorded but streamed live and we will aim at having live Q&A with the authors after each talk. Furthermore, breaks will very likely be shorter (15min between sessions and 1 hour around lunchtime CET). We plan to make the talk videos available to registered participants after the conference (if the respective authors of the video do not opt out).
The online conference will use the Zoom platform. You might want to register there already now. This is free of charge.
We are excited about this experiment. Looking forward to trying out something new, together with you.
Best regards,
the EDBT/ICDT organizers
