How does it work?

This dashboard was built with the aim of reproducing the environment of a face-to-face conference. You will find below the usual spaces of a conference: the Reception Office, the conference room, working room…
Each participant can reach the area of interest by simply clicking on the button on the corresponding room.

The working room is an area where participants can meet to discuss in small groups and private way. From 1-to-1 meeting, up to discussions including 10 people. All you have to do is to move your avatar close to the avatar of the person that you would like to talk with and an audio-video discussion will start immediately

It is necessary to preserve human interactions as much as possible. Therefore, a member of the technical organization team will be at your disposal at the Reception Desk to answer all your questions throughout the conference.
If you encounter technical problems while logging into the Home Office, please use instant messaging. The link to it will appear at the bottom right of this page during the conference days.
