Program

We have been working hard to identify a delivery platform that will maintain the benefits of networking and interaction that make our B2B Forum a success when going virtual. B2B Forum on SmartIndustry will take place using the Virtual Conference Platform Whova EMS (Event Management System), with conferencing platform Zoom as video/audio backend. Whova operates as both a web-application, and a mobile application. By downloading the mobile application, you will benefit most from the networking aspects of the platform, allowing you to directly interact with presenters, speakers and attendees through the application. All-conference sessions will be accessed through Whova either on the web or mobile application.

When signing in to the Whova app (either via browser or mobile app), you need to have a Whova account. If you do not have one, you need to create one first by registering. it is important that you register using the same email used for your B2B Forum registration. More information you can find at Instructions for Participation. Check tools on how to get access to the app/tools for accessing the sessions.

The attached program is preliminary from time scheduling perspective and might be subject to small updates. More information on how to join the online meeting is available on our Instructions side. Please also check the email that you received during registration.
