Know Before you register: important Information
Imaging for XR is offered as a hybrid meeting. Attendees are encouraged to participate in person, but you may also register to attend online, in real time or via the recordings. Sessions are recorded and all registrants (in-person and online) will have access to the recordings—including Q&A—until at least 1 March 2023.
EI attendees have complementary in-person access to Imaging for XR, but (for planning purposes) must indicate their desire to attend when registering for EI.
We suggest attendees explore the EI Short Course offerings to supplement their Imaging for XR experience.
Imaging for XR registrants may take advantage of the EI hotel reservation block. See below for details.
