Participation
ACHAI 2021 will be offered in a format allowing participants to join the congress either in-person or online. The goal is to have an in-person meeting for a reduced number of participants but with an infrastructure that gives the option to convert to a fully virtual event should it be required due to COVID19 restrictions. ACHAI 2021 will be streamed live and there will be an option for E-presentation and E-posters. Abstracts and posters submitted to the conference will be displayed electronically for the global audience.
