Networking

Parts of this year’s ICCH conference have been devoted to an innovative and exciting event; whole sessions dedicated to networking, involving all participants at the conference, with no other parallel events occurring simultaneously. This includes structured informal networking for online attendees through the online platform.

The main purpose of the event is to encourage all participants to meet and connect with like-minded people at the conference, with the secondary purpose of enabling existing networks to meet and encouraging new networks to form for the future. We are providing enough activities so that you all can have something that you’re interested to attend and enough diversity of activities to excite you.
