ALT A portrait of Dr Ash Porter decorated with cartoons of microbes. Dr Ash Porter is based at Dalhousie University and will be speaking at the MicroSeq online conference.
ALT MicroSeq2026 is utilising ZEP as a lightning talk discussion space. Each lightning speaker gets a podium in our virtual meeting room, with dedicated time for questions and further discussion, proximity voice chat function, and a great opportunity to network. A screenshot of the MicroSeq2024 ZEP meeting room is shown, with many participant avatars exploring one of four podiums for each lightning speaker, or other "seating" areas for smaller discussions.
