Davos is a congress city with great traditions, and has been hosting one of the most well-known global meetings in the world, the World Economic Forum, for decades.
Participants registering for the dinner will travel by bus to Sertig Valley (20-min ride). The dinner will start in the garden surrounded by spectacular mountains with a wide offering of Swiss appetizers. We will then move indoors and sit down for the main dish, before heading back to the garden to enjoy assorted home-made sweets prior to returning by bus to Davos. Don’t forget your jackets as temperatures will drop at night!
Main course options (to be selected at registration):
Indicative drinks per person:
1 dl. White wine, 2 dl. Red wine, 5 dl. Sertiger spring water or sparkling spring water
Guests can purchase additional drinks on-site at their own expense.
The paper and minisymposium sessions will be held in-person at the Congress Center Davos with the possibility of digital participation via Zoom.
Paper and Minisymposium parallel sessions will be held as standard zoom meetings (rather than as webinars or other “view-only” attendee formats). Please note that remote attendees will see presentation slides and will be able to listen to the talks and to the questions asked in the physical room; however, they will not see in-person presenters. Remote attendees can ask questions live (with audio and video where possible), or use the text chat to ask questions.
Sessions will be recorded and made available on the digital platform post-event.
When you registered for the conference, you received a confirmation of registration with an invitation to activate your profile (email from info@pasc-conference.org with subject line: “PASC23 Conference registration”). Those credentials will give you access to the platform where PASC23 will be held from June 26 to 28, and where session recordings will be stored post-conference. Zoom connection details will be provided from within that platform.
When you present your contribution live, we recommend 25 min talks with 5 min of live questions.
Please join the zoom meeting 15 minutes prior to the start of your session.
