Interactive Activities
💬 1 · Slack Workspace
We have created a Slack workspace for authors and attendees interested in the workshop topics to discuss ideas and share papers prior to the workshop date.
🖼️ 2 · Interactive Poster Session
All accepted papers present posters during the 3:30 – 4:15 PM session, with coffee served alongside. Authors stay at their boards for the full slot so attendees can work through methods and results one-on-one with them.
❓ 3 · Panel Q&A
We will collect questions for the panel discussion from the Slack workspace, an online poll, and in-person attendees.
