Technical prerequisites

To ensure the best possible transmission quality and stability, the use of a direct LAN connection (as opposed to WLAN) is recommended.

Please note that our digital congress platform is not fully supported by Internet Explorer. For an optimal congress experience, we therefore recommend using the latest versions of Google Chrome or Firefox.

Before the congress, make sure that the sound and video quality of your computer/laptop is good.
Make sure you are using the latest version of your browser. Also make sure that you do not have too many tabs open in your browser.

In order to ensure a smooth (technical) process at the GNPI Congress, we ask you - if you are working with a work device (PC, laptop) in the company network (e.g. clinic, company) or a rental device - to clarify the following points with your IT department in advance:

The following ports must be open:

• Port 443 (https)
• for security reasons, port 80 (http):

JavaScript must be activated in your browser.

The following domains must not be blocked by your firewall:

• Domain congress platform: gnpi2021-digital.de

Chat

To ensure a stable connection for the chat, we recommend forwarding the following IP to your IT department: 91.229.246.29.

Please make sure that your IT department does not block this IP. As there may be a lot of traffic (depending on the use of the chat tool), your IT system may block this IP for security reasons. If you are offline, the chat will continue to function normally and the branch user can also be found and contacted in the global participant list. You can then set yourself whether you want to receive an automatic e-mail notification/forwarding.
