For 2022, all events will be held in a hybrid mode with five options: on site or virtual choices (live, prerecorded videos, voiced presentation slides, and .pdf slides).

We hope for better times allowing us to return to the traditional on site scientific events. However, we are ready to adapt any which way the conditions dictate.

NexTech 2022 Congress

Conference will be mixed online and on location at

Holiday Inn Express Valencia-Ciudad Las Ciencias
Escritor Rafael Ferreres 22
Valencia, 46013
Spain

Note: This event is a mix of online and on site participation. All contributions are posted below; those presenting onsite have their own schedule, as a subset of the entire program.
