We are a bit over a month out from the conference. I sadly acknowledge from messages that many are unable to travel, and we are not able to create an effective or doable hybrid conference experience.
I still believe we can still make connections and sharing between those who are fortunate to be able to travel to Edmonton and those who will be afar.
What’s On the Table Now
- Program. The full program will soon be published via Sched, and all sessions and materials added by presenters will be public. For now, refer to the provisional Schedule to see the dates/time, titles, and presenters for all sessions.
- Live Streamed Sessions. If you review the provision schedule available now, note that all sessions from two rooms, Salon 8/10 and Salon 12, will be live streamed. Details are in progress, but you can count on us adding these here in OEG Connect enabling each one to have an attached dialogue.
- OEG Live. In the lead up to the conference, we will be hosting a few OEG Live sessions (one starts in 2 hours!). I am planning to run a few from the conference too.
- Unpresentation? You are welcome to share anything in the vein of a presentation here in OEG Connect, but it’s not quite the same as a conference slot, and again, this is not a virtual conference. What we do encourage anyone to do, is to start a new topic in the main conference space and share anything you want (video, documents, slide decks, links, free form ideas) that relates to the conference theme, a track, or a particular session. Maybe tag it as unpresentation?
- Ask Just asking a question in public here is a huge contribution!
- Braiding In support of the conference vision of two-eyed seeing and braiding, we are asking to consider making braids visible here in OEG Connect? How? Share a resource, paper, link, image, presentation, video, or just thought that is related to a conference theme or session. Or connect to a person at or not at the conference.
- Sharing Out From the Conference If you will be in Edmonton, fantastic! We hope you consider posting here a reflection, connection that might help someone not at the conference to learn from, share, or contribute back to.
At least check into the conversations happening here, and favorite, share, and reply often in the OEG Connect space. Or look for more polls and photo challenges.
It’s not a virtual conference, but it can be connected.
I’m very open to ideas to make this conference as open as possible.
