[Chapter-delegates] Online demonstration of new ISOC Chapter Portal (Beta version) - Wednesday, September 9th

[Rudi Vansnick]

I choose 11:30 UTC session.

Is it possible to have a preview of what the portal looks alike ? 
Eventually a demo version where we can have a first view of how the 
application works ?

Thanks
