To recreate as many of the opportunities from an in-person conference as possible and to allow the freedom for participants to network, move between options and to curate their own personal experiences, we’re creating a schedule with a range of virtual spaces to listen, share, learn and network within.
THE CAFÉ
Grab a coffee and a snack – The Café is now open.
The Café provides an option for virtual speed-networking during break time.
Talk with 10 conference delegates for 10 minutes. Delegates joining the Café will be randomly allocated to virtual meeting rooms with up to 10 participants for 10 minutes.
Drop in or out of the Café, move between conference options and curate your own personal experience.
The Café is a safe space
Our virtual Café provides a safe space for networking and to discuss the content raised during the conference. We ask all participants to be respectful of others’ opinions and thoughts during these sessions and allow time to listen.
Please respect privacy: those spaces are informal, and we ask people not to quote, post or tweet other peoples’ comments during those breakout sessions.
If you’d like to continue a conversation with someone you’ve met – the ‘Networking Lawn’ provides a space to connect 1:1 with delegates.
If you have issues or concerns, please message a team member at the LGBTIQ+ Health Australia exhibition booth.
Conversation prompts:
- Introduce yourselves, and what organisation you are from, acknowledge the Traditional Country you are from.
- What were your highlights from the previous panel?
- How does this topic impact your work?
- Are there any actions you’d like to take following up from this discussion?
- Were there any thoughts or perspectives which were new for you?
- Is there anything else you’d like to have heard the panel discuss?
NETWORKING LAWN
We’ll provide online meeting rooms to meet and network throughout the conference. Why take breaks alone and miss out on vital networking opportunities? If you’d like to continue a conversation with someone you’ve met – the ‘Networking Lawn’ provides a space to connect 1:1 with delegates.
