Agenda of the Harvest Imaging Forum 2019

Please find below the agenda of the Harvest Imaging Forum 2019.  Do not pay too much attention on the timing, because the forum will run in 2 parallel sessions.  The (indicative) timing shown is valid for the first session, the second one will get another timing.
