Its co-location with the Extracellular Vesicles & LNPs conference and the option to present an oral or poster abstract add value for early-career researchers seeking feedback; buyers looking for a large vendor floor will find it narrower, as the list of speakers includes only a few company representatives such as Claudia Gartner of microfluidic ChipShop and Nicolas Brillouet of Kloe.
Attendees at scientific congresses like this usually wear business casual, such as slacks or chinos with a collared shirt or blouse, and a light layer helps in conference rooms.
