If you are a presenter please see instructions for presenters page.

If you have a question, but don’t know where to ask you can:

use the #ask-the-organizers channel on Discord
speak to a member of the organizing commitee
ask volunteers, who will be available at the registration desk and in each presentation room

Each room has dedicated microphones to ask questions. Microphones serve 2 purposes – it ensures:
1. we record your question clearly; and
2. people watching on the internet can hear your question.
Microphone Etiquette
- Please make sure you speak into the microphone.
- What’s a good indicator that you are close enough? If you can see the microphone head while speaking into it, you are too far from it.
- If you are standing too close, we will run a risk of having an audio feedback loop (annoying high pitched sound through the speakers).
If you have trouble handling the microphones, please ask the in-room volunteers for assistance.

There are two official ways to watch the talks online:

Discord (invite link) has a dedicated channel for each event under the “Q&A” category
Please ask your questions in the dedicated pre-created post associated to the name of the paper
- This will make sure the authors and session chairs see it and can answer your question even after the talk.
Only text questions are accepted from virtual audience, there is no capability for voice questions
