The keynote is pre-recorded: watch it any time before the day. Then five rounds in four tracks, starting at 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 and 4:00. Each session is a 20-minute interview with the speaker, with slides, and 5 minutes for your questions, then a 5-minute break before the next round. Star the ones you like, and once you have registered, sign up for as many as you want: they can overlap, and you choose on the day. Every talk is recorded, so you can watch the ones you miss later, in Community Events or on the iCaria Together YouTube channel.
Available Sun, Nov 15, 2:00 p.m. to 2:10 p.m.
Rusul Memar sets the scene in a recorded welcome you can watch before the day: why we gather, what you can offer one another, and how to get the most from the afternoon.
