The showcase session. 

An opportunity for attendees to share their ideas and innovations in a practical way, in an informal and relaxed environment.  We welcome posters, demonstrations, lightning talks, software sharing, and anything else that you would like to bring along to inspire the community.  We encourage you to share best practice and operational skills you have learnt along the way, not just scientific results.
