  1. Coffee rooms

We introduced three virtual coffee rooms to facilitate interactions between online and on-site attendees during the coffee breaks and at all other times. On-site these can be found at the three computer screens in the coffee lounge. Online these are open sessions, which are not moderated, such that everyone who comes in automatically shares their audio and video.

During coffee breaks directly following their presentations, we will invite keynote speaker 1 for chats over coffee at coffee room 1. Keynote speaker 2 will be in coffee room number 2. Feel free that ask them anything you did not ask during the Q&A.

Coffee room number 3 is always open for anyone to talk to anyone at any time.

 

  1. Open sessions

 

You are free to setup an (open) session under Sessions to discuss a particular topic. People can join this session simply from the Sessions display.

 

  1. 1-on-1 Networking

Left menu -> Networking

Randomly initiates contact with others participants at the event, who are interested to network. If you want to talk to specific people, please send a message or schedule a meeting with them under the “People” tab.
