What is a dashboard ?

How do I know which room I have to join to see a speech?
On the program, you will see the name of the room where the speech is given (Main room, Second room…).
What are the differences between the different networking rooms?
Every day, you get the opportunity to talk with speakers you have previously seen in the oral presentation rooms via the Q&A rooms.
