Since the program of this years MIDL might appear quite differently from what you expect, there is a video explaining how you can enjoy the scientific presentations and discussions throughout the conference!
We gave our best to give every participant the opportunity for live interaction with the authors, regardless of the timezone. Therefore, each conference day is divided into two parts: The active part and the passive part. The active part - the prime time - takes place in the time frame that is most convenient across all time zones and is marked in yellow.
During this active part, live spotlight presentations of and discussions with the authors of all accepted papers are scheduled. Additionally, the keynotes, virtual poster sessions as well as social events will take place during the active phase. Hence, participants from all over the world get the chance to discuss the presented research, meet new colleagues and old friends, and enjoy a live virtual event.
In the passive part, the full presentation videos of all accepted papers are shown in moderated sessions. Each presentation is streamed twice to address the different time zones, once the day before after the active phase and once right before the active phase where the paper is discussed. Questions that arise during these sessions will be collected and answered in the corresponding discussion session during the active phase. All presentation videos will also be accessible on the homepage so that they can also be enjoyed outside the moderated sessions.
Important dates
All deadlines are at 23:59, UTC -12 (AoE timezone).
