The organizers of WN Winter'21 opened the appointment system and published the program
A little more than a week remains before the WN Winter online conference. But even now, future participants of the event can use the appointment system and get acquainted with the schedule of performances.
In order to send a request for a virtual meeting to one of the guests of the event, it is enough to purchase a business ticket and log on to the conference platform that is already working.
Recall that there are free tickets on WN Winter. They are available to developers and publishers. However, they only allow you to watch lectures and walk around the virtual exposition. It will be possible to interact with the conference participants only in a limited format (with free tickets, you can receive requests for meetings and write to speakers and sponsors).
As for the event program, it is designed for five days. The reports will run in one stream from Monday, February 8 to Friday, February 12. The time of the event is from 12.00 to 19.30 Moscow time (or from 10.00 to 17.30 Central European time).
Among the most interesting performances we note the following:
