We will continue to hosting the plenary session and technical sessions in Spatial.Chat.
For participants from regions where Spatial.Chat is not accessible, please use the Virtual Conference Platform (VCP) to access presentation videos and paper PDF files. You can also contact the authors with the email link or use the Comment/Discussion Function in the VCP.
VCP is operational 24/7 and can be accessed from around the world. The full conference proceeding can also be downloaded from VCP (see FAQ). The complete VCP service (minus live sessions) will continue to be accessible for one month after the conference, i.e. until 29 June 2021.
Thank you!
