In addition to the keynotes, the conference program will feature among others mini-symposia. Mini-symposia are dedicated to talks and panel discussions from researchers covering a specialized topic in occupational epidemiology. Mini-symposia sessions should have no less than 3 speakers, and no more than can be successfully managed in the 60 or 90-minute session time allotted. We recommend 15 minutes of presentation time for each speaker broken down into 10 minutes of talk-time and a five-minute question and answer period from attendees.
