WIAD21 Timeline
We're hosting Organizer Town-halls!
Taking place Monday and Thursday evenings 7pm CET and ET (UTC-5) from December until February, global executive producers Grace Lau and Andrew Jung will be hosting town-halls/office hours/Q&A every week. The first Town Hall will occur this Thursday, December 10. We'll cover questions about: • global content, keynotes • regional IA roundtable events (pending) • local WIAD21 event hubs (setting up, livestreaming, managing content, etc) • contributing assets (video, slides, etc) to global repository for sharing • donations, sponsorships, dealing with giveaways If you're unable to join the live stream, that's okay! We'll post video recordings of walkthroughs as soon as we can. Join the Townhall hub and check out the resources we've put together: https://vi.to/hubs/wiad21-organizers
