Welcome to VCCA2021,
This virtual “Goodiebag” contains information and additional items for you.
Video-conferencing can be more tiring than regular meetings and we scheduled several breaks for your recovery. We also highlight a few articles to help you prepare.
We highlight a selection of presenters who made short video clips about their projects and several of our sponsors showcase new developments.
Please visit the VCCA2021 Conference Program or download the scientific program as PDF to plan your day. All abstracts can be found online and please make use of the comments function for your questions and feedback (this is moderated).Â
VCCA2021 Coffee Corner
For informal chats, an important part of traditional conferences, we encourage all attendees to use the Signal messenger and to join the VCCA2021 Coffee Corner. This will be used across sessions and platforms to connect all participants that attend the conference. We will share an invitation to the dedicated group-chat with you.
Computational Audiology TV
We have launched Computational Audiology TV. On this channel, we will release selected videos about computational audiology and contributions to the VCCA2021. Don’t forget to subscribe. You can watch the great video pitches highlighting some of the upcoming presentations (click on the video here). They are also embedded on the online abstract pages.
