The waiting room for these activities will open 20 minutes before the event. Everyone will be entered to the room individually so that will take some time. If you do not want to share your full name we encourage you to watch the presentations after live screening on our YouTube channel (see the information below) as we would like to establish a secure atmosphere for the participants. Once you are in the room you will be automatically set to mute. Please leave your microphone on mute during the presentations. If you want you can leave your camera off until the beginning or also for the whole time. Please open the chat so that you are able to communicate and interact with one another. Unless otherwise noted this will be the same for both weeks. The presentations will be accessible from our YouTube channel after the premier live screening.
