Details On Breakout Sessions
Tech Socials are known for enabling super chill group conversations—we’ll try emulating this with breakout sessions. Participate live (people can see and hear you) or just spectate—there’s a limit to live spots, but anyone can observe and contribute via chat. Some sessions may have moderators. Breakouts may organize by city (e.g. Toronto, NYC, Dallas, Vancouver), industry topic (e.g. future of remote work, careers, founders, AI), skill/tech (e.g. Python, Angular JS, frameworks), and in other non-salesy categories.
Online Event #Protips
- Test your mic and speakers so your entrance is seamless!
- Close extra windows, a lean running machine speeds things up.
- Have bright lighting so your face is lit and you’re not lurking in shadows.
- Tidy up – a clean, uncluttered background means fewer distractions!
