Testimonials from ISDP 2020 Virtual Meeting…
The live broadcast of pre-corded presentations and live discussions after were excellent.
Virtual poster session space was fantastic!
I’ve attended 4 virtual conferences this year and ISDP was the best!
Gathertown was a really great way to network and meet people!!
Really great execution of a virtual conference!
I liked the meeting room sessions, it felt like I was “walking into” a talk and not so zoom like.
