Hiya! The talks started at 12 but we’d had to pre-launch to sort some tech issues! Hopefully you managed to tune in?

We’re so grateful to all our volunteers, the Gathering wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for your time, energy, and care 💜

We'll also have the amazing team at Unity supporting us for the event, including @vr-sam.bsky.social !

And @rodrigosanchez.bsky.social‬ who helped last year with a little tech support, front desk, and supporting our attendees throughout the day. 💪

Next is Marion @aquaspells.bsky.social‬ - our catering star from last year who helped all our attendees get their drinks and snacks! 🫖

Big shoutout to Amy, who last year helped to guide attendees to where they needed to be, keeping the flow smooth and everyone calm! 🗺️

First up is @adriaandev.bsky.social‬ who last year held down the front desk like a pro and ran mics for our Roundtable - making sure everyone’s voice could be heard! 🎤

The zoom link will be the same for the whole event (pending technical gremlins), and you can drop in and out as you like. 🧵 5/5

For the in-person event doors open at 11am, but the Zoom webinar won't start until shortly before 12 noon!

There are plenty of breaks - short breaks between each talk to allow for handover, and a larger break between talks and the roundtable.

Our full schedule is on Eventbrite. 🧵 4/5

The micro talks will be recorded and we're hoping to share them on YouTube after the event, these will be captioned but please note that these versions will not have BSL (due to the terms of our provider).

The roundtable will be streamed in the webinar but will not be available afterwards. 🧵 3/5

The event will be streamed via Zoom Webinar, with live captions, and planned BSL interpretation.

Webinar participants will not have cameras or mic on, so you can relax knowing you're just a viewer. Q&A is not available, but you can use the zoom chat to chat with other remote attendees. 🧵 2/5
