This page contains information on the online conference platform we are using, called Hopin.
All conference registrants should be able to register for Hopin in advance of the conference. You should have received an invite from “UBC Engineering”. If you have not received an invite to register, please check in your spam folder and reach out to Christoph Sielmann (christoph.sielmann@ubc.ca). Registration helps us assign speakers and moderators to sessions.
