DISCOUNTED REGISTRATION COSTS
We are simplifying the price structure by dropping the distinction between early registration and regular registration costs. To compensate for this, we are offering several discounts of 20% on a first come/first served basis (please use the code: EARLY-PARTICIPANT) when registering.

THEMES
This years for the first time we have decided to enrich the program by proposing three sessions or themes: agriculture and nutrition, secondary reuse of healthcare data and open data. This in addition to the more general focus our conference, which is to generally foster the adoption of semantic technologies in healthcare and life sciences.

KEYNOTES
We are hosting a series of esteemed Keynote speakers with diverse perspectives on the relevance, utility and opportunities that Semantics offers in the decade ahead. Full Keynote profiles can be viewed here: http://www.swat4ls.org/workshops/antwerp2018/keynotes/
• How Does Data Science Impact the Semantic Web? – Philip Bourne
• Semantic Web and the New Industrial Revolution – Dean Allemang
• Spinning a Semantic Web for Agriculture – Medha Devare
