I agree that the thread should be as tidy as possible.

Thank you @Sasha ! I was not sure how to do this, so thanks for helping out!

As far as I know there will not be any streaming from this conference, but I'm sure someone will make a summary - and I will try to have it translated.

A nice thing about the conference is that health personell will receive credits by joining. So let's hope many will use the opportunity to learn more about ME!

It is the Norwegian ME Association - Department Hordaland - who is behind this conference. Well done and good luck!
