Accessing the Conference

Accessing

The sessions will be streamed via YouTube with SliDo as our Q&A and chat system. There is an optional Gather session running alongside, which is a virtual world.

Near to the conference date we will send you details of how to access the conference to your email. Alternatively, check for our streams on our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNGdR787fwF7BxC5yMwIPEg :)

During the day use the links in the stream descriptions to navigate around the conference. A tutorial on using the software will be gone through in the intro session too.

Devices

To access YouTube: Any device should work, but we recommend a laptop or desktop PC to enable a big enough screen to see any content on the stream.

To access SliDo: Any device should work.

To access Gather: You will need a laptop/desktop PC with the Chrome or Firefox browser.

What to do if you have problems on the day

If there are problems, first try refreshing the page to see if this fixes it. If not, check your internet connection is stable. If you are still having trouble, try another browser, for example Chrome or Firefox.

If all that fails, please get in contact with us at UKAceCon2020@gmail.com and we'll try to help fix any problems. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to fix everything, but we will try our best.

The YouTube sessions will be recorded for viewing later if you have issues watching them on the day, so don't worry about missing any content.
