On-Site Masterclasses
On 9 June, the day before the conference and exhibition, you can participate in industry- and expert-led masterclasses as well as tours of local companies and research facilities.
In the morning (9:00 to 12:45) you can participate in the masterclasses. You will have a choice of 8 classes, organised in two parallel sessions. You can attend 4 classes in person but the other classes will be available on our platform after the event for you to view.
Each 45-min masterclass will cover a technology or application in detail, offering an insightful blend of practical, technical and application knowledge. These masterclasses will be delivered by industry experts and some may involve live demonstrations.
After lunch, you can participate in one of two tours. We will take you to the facility by bus and bring you back to the conference venue at around 6.00pm. Contact venessa@TechBlick.com if you have any queries.
