The world is temporarily locked-down, therefore we have adjusted and complemented our face-to-face events with online meetings. We are organizing 30 online technology meetings in April-May-June. EPIC members can join directly on ZOOM, and everyone can watch the livestream on YouTube. We also want to keep things fun! Therefore on 24 June EPIC is organizing a 24 hours non-stop online conference with 72 speakers from 40 countries, starting in New Zealand, with speakers from Asia, Middle-East, Europe, and finishing on the US west coast of California! The presentations are 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes discussion. Please register below to remain informed.
