ISBNPA XChange Program

We promise to bring you a stimulating scientific program, which will include live keynote speakers, live Q&A sessions, as well as on-demand recordings of presentations with offline Q&A discussions.

LIVE PROGRAM                          KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 

ISBNPA XChange Initiative will launch on June 1st with the release of pre-recorded presentations of accepted 2020 abstracts. Live sessions will run from June 15th to June 25th, 2020, from 9pm to 11:45pm (CEST). Within this period, we are planning to have two live keynote speakers, nine live symposia webinars, nine live questions and answers (Q&A) sessions of 10-15 pre-recorded oral presentations, offline Q&A, discussion boards, and an array of social engagement activities.

Each of ISBNPA’s active Special Interest Groups (SIG) will be assigned one live symposium and one live Q&A session. However, we encourage SIGs and registered attendees to organize other workshops, webinars and spontaneous offline Q&A sessions using the XChange platform before, during and after the live program.

The nine active SIGs are:
•  Ageing  •  Implementation, Translation, Scale-up and Sustainability  •  Early Care and Education •  Motivation and Behaviour Change  •  Children and Families  
•  Cancer Prevention and Management •  Policies and Environments  •  E & m-Health  •   Socioeconomic Inequalities
