2. What to Expect at ShinyConf 2024:
While attending a virtual conference may differ from an in-person event, you can still expect a rewarding and enriching experience. Here’s what you can anticipate:
- Interactive sessions: Virtual ShinyConf will feature a variety of interactive sessions, including live presentations, shiny app showcases, workshops and panel discussions. Take advantage of the chat function to ask questions, share insights, and engage with speakers and fellow attendees in real time.
- Virtual Networking: Although networking in a virtual setting may feel different, it’s still an essential aspect of the conference experience. Participate in virtual networking sessions, breakout rooms, 1:1 speed dating and discussions to connect with professionals in your field; peers and speakers, exchange ideas, expand your network and.. have fun
- Access to resources: One of the benefits of a virtual conference is the accessibility of resources. Take advantage of the ShinyConf Replay area, serving as a dedicated space for attendees to access and catch up on presentations and discussions they might have missed during the live event. This feature ensures that you can fully engage with the conference content at your own pace.
- Take breaks: It’s important to remember to take breaks during the conference. Virtual events can be intense, so schedule regular breaks to rest and recharge. Use this time to step away from your screen, stretch, and hydrate to maintain your focus and energy throughout the event.
- Engage on social media: Join the conversation on social media platforms using the official event hashtag #shinyconf2024. Engaging with other attendees and speakers online can enhance your virtual conference experience and facilitate connections beyond the conference itself.
- Shiny4All Slack Channel: Use our dedicated Slack channel to connect with speakers and other attendees. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, share insights, and engage in discussions beyond the confines of the conference sessions.
- Welcoming community and supportive, inclusive environment: One of the standout features of ShinyConf is its welcoming R Shiny community, which strives to create a supportive environment for all attendees, no matter if you’re a Shiny pro or just starting your endeavor!
