As delightful as a Jin cult panel would be – we’d like you to represent yourself visually. There are many free avatar makers on the internet, we suggested several on the Discord Guide channel on the server.

What? Each presentation will have an accompanying group Google doc for resources & collaborative notes.
Live Q&A Some panels will have a live Q&A following their presentation, either through the chat or by inviting people into the meeting. Each event will vary and you should look at the schedule listing to find out more information and the correct link.
Chat Q&A As presenters are willing, some events may spill over into the Discord for further Q&A using the Main Stage channel which will open when live events start.
