Virtual Talks
PiPT7 virtual talks are presented through Zoom. We recommend downloading Zoom prior to your talk and making sure you have the latest version of Zoom installed. If you need to download Zoom, you may do so here: zoom.us/download.
The conference secretariat will provide the designated link to the Zoom webinar, which will be posted along with the program schedule. Only registered participates will receive the passcode for entering the Zoom. So please do remember to register before the deadline: November 3rd, 2021.
