A huge thank you to the thousands of participants from all over the world who made this conference so special!
A total of 4,064 people registered for CHILI 2.0 compared to 3,515 last year, representing an increase of 16 percent. 2,805 persons joined live over the course of the conference and 1,022 persons watched the recordings in the 72 hours after the conferenence they were freely accessible to all registrants. That is a massive increase from the previous year for all parameters.
President of ESHIMT, Prof. Thomas Beyer, who took part in the conference, stated, “I’m delighted with the turnout at this year’s event; it is fantastic to see so many people engaged in hybrid imaging. The advantages of CHILI’s highly accessible online format are obvious and palatable to people from all around the world. Today, we were able to offer this event free of charge to more and more people all over the world, giving everyone with a passion for hybrid imaging the opportunity to participate and learn. I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to the organisers, the team behind the scenes and you, as the audience who made this conference such a success.”

Feedback from our participants
Excellent overall, it was my first time tuning into the ESHIMT / CHILI online conference. I have enjoyed it tremendously. The speakers were excellent and the host was superb.
The outreach is the best aspect of the conference. It ensured the participation of enthusiasts from different countries, especially developing countries like Nepal. It is fascinating to be made aware of the extensive uses of hybrid imaging in various areas of medicine by the experts.
I am very grateful, because free online conferences even allow doctors from not very developed countries, both economically and medically, to improve and strive for the best to learn new things.
The sessions on hybrid imaging were very useful for all of us who work in the field and do not have the opportunity to attend similar workshops and conferences abroad. Please, continue your efforts.
I loved the accessibility of the conference and the ease of access for the Q&A segments. Keep up the good work guys!! Looking forward to CHILI 2020!
I am registered as PET/CT and NM specialist and it was really great to get more knowledge on NET tumors also in PSMA cases. the rest of the lectures were a good update and gave me more input for cases in my daily work.
