FAQ

How do I access the conference?

LoudSwarm is the only requirement to be able to watch the talks, whether you are watching live or catching up later.
Each participant has received a joining link with the title "Attend PloneConf 2021 on LoudSwarm".

The Plone Conference Slack Workspace is where all information about the event will be shared. This is also where you will be able to chat with speakers, attendees, and organizers. If you haven't already, join the Plone Slack now and navigate to channel #conf2021_hallway. Email [email protected] if you have any problems getting in.

Jitsi will be used for face-to-face interactions after each talk. Each speaker will join Jitsi after their talk to be available to answer questions or have discussions with the attendees.
