Yes, of course! You can choose your favourites from the program and participate when it suits you. You can also, for example, be onsite in Vaasa in the morning and have meetings online in the afternoon, if you want!

The interest towards the event has been enormous and all the onsite places reserved for stakeholders and international talents are now full. If you registered for the onsite event between 26.9 at 12.00 and 14.10. at 10.00, you are on the waitlist.

We follow the situation daily and inform to the next one in the line if a place in Vaasa is available.

If you are on the waitlist, a place in the online event has been reserved for you, so that you can attend virtually if a place in Vaasa is not available. If you want to leave the waitlist, please inform the organisers: [email protected].

We are using a virtual event platform Brella during the event. Brella puts together the key people of the theme and enables you to network with all participants - onsite or virtually.  

Brella is a networking tool, that will be opened two weeks before the event. Brella enables you to view the event schedule and information on speakers, as well as to book meetings for the event dates. Brella’s algorithms suggests suitable contacts for you based on the interests you have chosen. In this way you can optimize your time at the event and find the best possible partners for you.

On virtual booths you can get acquainted with exhibitors and their services.   

Yes, every attendee creates a personal profile on the Brella platform! It is the only way to get access to the event site.
