Quick Glance FINAL Programme

WELCOME!

You are about to experience a conference event unlike any other. The ICTH 2021 - Virtual Programme Committee is excited to have you join us. This year was a bit of a challenge to maintain the energy and avant-garde tone of ICTH, but we did it! Expect the unexpected and remember it's all about a new perspective, innovative scientific research, and practice projects based in the real-world that actually produce results and enjoying the experience. 

Now it's time to get down to business....Each session in the programme is listed in time zones, with Eastern Standard Time (EST/USA) as the baseline. ​Verify available session times in your country by using the World Clock

ALL sessions will be audio/video recorded using Zoom technology just in case you miss one. The decision was made to hold ICTH over a two week period for only a few hours a day. Sitting behind a computer can get really monotonous. Frankly, it's a drag.

Registered delegates will be provided access to recorded sessions FREE of charge post-conference until 30 August 2021. If you are not a registered delegate, but would like access to the recorded sessions, there will be a separate registration fee available at the conclusion of ICTH, 30 June 2021.

Get Up & Dance!

Are you wondering WHY there are music videos above? Well, let's ALL admit that the resultant virtual (on-line) events that have become a necessity to stay connected during the global pandemic are just a bit... BORING. After the first 10-15 minutes of a webinar or conference session, you're banging your head on the table top or you're already dozing off into a quiet slumber as the presenter speaks in a dull monotone. Yep, BORING!

LET'S CHANGE THE STATUS QUO!

If you have ever attended an ICTH event in person, you KNOW that MUSIC is a key component. So let's rally and make ICTH 2021-Virtual, an event full of a similar ENERGY!

Each accepted abstract team will be playing YouTube videos at the start, during and/or after their session. These songs may correlate with the theme of their session OR are meant to be uplifting, help you feel inspired, raise your energy level or just make you laugh! Some of the songs are already posted in the detailed programme.

An ICTH 2021 Playlist will be sent out to all registered delegates at the conclusion of the conference.

Thank you for taking the time to join us for ICTH 2021 - Virtual. We really missed not seeing you in-person, but we hope that you enjoyed yourself,
