The Rankine Coffee Lounge

Hosted Discussion Sessions

Make contact with other delegates interested in the same topics as you.  In our Coffee Lounge, you will be able to interact with expert hosts, ask questions of anyone or everyone on the call and take part in live polls.  Did you learn something new in one of the technical sessions? Do you want to share your ideas? Were you hoping to make contact with one of the speakers to find out more? The Coffee Lounge is the central place for informal chat and networking.

Each day of the conference will feature different live online Coffee Lounge sessions each with focusing on a topic relevant to the ORC & refrigeration themes. 

Expert technical hosts will kick off the discussion and encourage you to share your ideas by commenting, questioning, taking part in polls and even opening your mic to say a few words if you want to.

Registered delegates will be sent a single Coffee Lounge joining link which will allow them to access any of the sessions.  The programme for Coffee Lounge topics is shown below for a full list of host names see the programme link. All timings are UK (GMT based) and take place in between the formal presentations and talks.
