Practical information for YHI guests

Platform

Venue details and registration links are available only on the platform – if you cannot find that information in the Programme tab, it means you are using the website, not the platform > In that case, go to Sign up / My account in the upper right corner to log in to the platform.

Having an account on the YHI platform is crucial to navigate the forum and access all the information and the one-to-one meetings tool.
