How does this work?
ConVEx is available online everywhere with sessions in every time zone.
If you are a night owl or early bird, you are welcome to join any and all sessions regardless of your time zone.
The event platform will be available 4 weeks prior to the live event.
Registered attendees will have access to the library and can watch pre-recorded sessions in preparation for Candid Conversations with presenters.
Insights & Inspirations:
Enjoy extended talks by industry leaders on critical issues facing technical communicators today. Each Insights and Inspirations session includes their presentation followed by a “Dialog with Dawn,” to delve further into their topic and pose questions from the audience.
Candid Conversations: Join a Zoom room to Interact With Presenters and your fellow professionals in a small group, live chat setting. Talk about the information shared by the presenter and explore the topic deeper with everyone in attendance.
Tips and Trends: Enjoy panel discussions with industry professionals to learn tips and trends to help you hone your skills.
Test Kitchens: Are you looking for new ideas, new tools, or want to see exactly how things work? Spend some time in the Test Kitchen where exhibitors will demonstrate their tools and answer your questions about how to make best use of their capabilities.
Destress and Unwind:
Put your mind in neutral and share some social time! Social Activities are scheduled in the Extended Break periods each day and we hope you will join as many as possible. Participating is easy – simply join the appropriate Zoom room for your chosen activity. We welcome social sessions, games, hobbies, or food & beverage focused networking. If you have an idea that would work in a virtual environment, please consider hosting a Social Session! Please contact us and share your idea.
ConVEx’s Slack Workspace
ConVEx has a dedicated Slack Workspace to facilitate attendees engaging with each other to ask questions, share advice, make recommendations and learn from each other. We encourage attendees to use Slack messaging to communicate what’s on their minds:
- Comment about what you’re learning in a session
- Ask attendees how they are solving problems or resolving issues
- Swap COVID-19 quarantine stories
- Request product and service information from the Exhibitors
- Create your own channels to chat with like-minded attendees, i.e. agile-writers, git-users, bay-area-writers, remote-working, etc.
- Catch up with old friends – Talk about your kids, pets and vacations (what vacations?)
