Second edition, June 25, 2020, Thursday, CET 16:00-17:30

We are pleased to announce the second edition of the TOP Webinar (www.top-webinar.org).

The second edition is scheduled for June 25, 2020, Thursday, CET 10:00-11:30 16:00-17:30
(For your reference, CET 16:00, i.e., 7:00 Los Angeles, 10:00 New York, 22:00 Beijing, 24:00 Sydney)
(Please note this time is different from what we have previously announced. After some serious consideration, we decided to stay with 16:00-17:30, as in the first edition. This timeslot is believed to fit more participants. Our sincere apologies go to colleagues in Asia-Pacific for keeping you up late at night.)

The first event went pretty well. We thank all speakers for their great talks and all participants for joining us and engaging in the discussion.

Zoom capacity

The first TOP Webinar will go online in a couple of hours. As of now, we have received more than 460 registrations. This is truly fantastic. The number is beyond our expectations. It’s a pity that our zoom account allows us to accommodate a maximum of 300 participants. For today’s webinar, it means that some of you may experience difficulty to join. We sincerely apologize for this. We will record the webinar and upload it to YouTube. A link will be available on top-webinar.org/past

We have taken actions to make sure that we can accommodate a much large number of participants for the next webinars.
