CW21 - Social Programme

One of the goals of CW21 is to increase opportunities for networking and socialising during online events. We have a rich social programme that we hope you will engage in to make new and strengthen old connections with other participants.

In addition to activities taking place on new platforms, a Zoom room will also be made available in parallel as an alternative platform for connecting with others. Connection details will be emailed to participants and shared in the CW21 Slack workspace.

RemotelyGreen Social Hour

When: 17:00 - 18:00 BST (check your time zone here)

Facilitator: Ben Krikler

Join this speed networking social hour sponsored by RemotelyGreen ahead of the event, designed to facilitate connections with other CW21 participants with similar interests and goals. Participants will be matched in groups based on selected topics of interest, and provided an icebreaker prompt to help guide the interaction. The platform is currently in beta, so any feedback you can provide from using this up and coming platform is greatly appreciated by the RemotelyGreen team.

Notes for participants:

  • The link to the event will be emailed to participants.
  • You need an account to join the event - this is a quick process, either using an existing LinkedIn account or an email address (in which case a verification email will be sent). If you don't already have an account, please consider joining a few minutes early to allow for this step.
  • Once connected to the event you don't have to do anything; you can just stay on the same page - the platform will take care of moving you through the program. If anyone wants to leave early, you can simply close the tab.
  • For best performance we recommend using Chrome or Firefox from a laptop or desktop - other browsers and devices might work, but it is harder for us to guarantee the same experience elsewhere.
  • You can choose which topics you would like to talk about when you join the event and in between the encounters. Depending on the number of people that take part and how many interests you share with the others in the event there's a chance in later encounters that you might meet the same people again. If this happens, try selecting new topics or deselecting others.
