For 2024, 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.

InfoWare 2024 Congress

Conference will be mixed online and on location at

NOVOTEL Athenes Hotel
4-8 Michail Voda str.
104 39 Athens - Greece

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.

Opening Welcome
