    You will get an email with all the information you’ll need at the conference about a week before the event. We will also add a link to the page with all organisational details to the website.

    Remote: 1:30pm BST / 8:30am EST / 5:30am PST / 2:30pm CEST

  • Will there be a Q&A session after each talk?

    There will be a 10 minutes session right after each talk when the MC picks questions from the audience and asks them to the speaker.

    And after that there will be hybrid speaker rooms where both in-person and remote audience can communicate with the speakers.

  • How can I ask questions to the speakers during Managed Q&A?

    On October 22 all the questions - via sli.do. Use code #2225 to access our channel.

    On October 25 - via the Discord channel. The link to the channel will be shared in the organisational email.

  • How to communicate with other participants remotely?

    The main channels (Discord) will be created – the links to the channels will be sent in an organisational email before the conference.

    Also, there will be Spatial Chat rooms for discussions on different topics, attendees can also create separate watch parties with their colleagues and watch the conference together.

  • How to communicate with other participants in person?

    First of all, we suggest using personal protective equipment while communicating with other participants. Make sure to regularly wash your hands or use a hand sanitiser.

    To understand if a participant is open for contact, just check the colour of his/her badge lanyard. In case it is white - the person is likely to communicate, whereas it’s black - the attendee’s level of comfort with physical contact is low.

  • What after-party will include (in-person/remote)?

    For Remote participants, there will be a Frontend Feud show by JS Party podcast in which 2 teams of speakers will be competing. Also look out for numerous afterparty rooms with different hosts and activities from QuakeJS tournament to various chat rooms.
