4th Swiss Symposium in Point-of-Care Diagnostics held at the Davos Conference Center on 21 October, 2021

After last year's successful online symposium, the 4th edition of the Swiss Symposium in POC Diagnostics gathered more than 150 participants from medicine, industry and science as well as from different European countries to meet at the Davos Conference Center for an exciting program with 13 expert speakers, a poster session and a product & technology exhibition. The mandatory COVID-certificate to access the event has allowed people to meet (again at last!), network and share their views and success stories in the field of POC Diagnostics that continues to be propelled by digitalization, new technological possibilities, user needs and the COVID-19 pandemic.

I revisit the motivation for suggesting this pedagogical approach and reflect on the different learning stakeholders which contributed to the learning strategy’s success.
