We are excited to announce the planning of Micro Camp 2021, a virtual gathering of the Micro.blog community to share knowledge and make new connections.
Micro Camp will feature:
- Short talks by community members on a range of topics of interest
- Live text chat during presentations, Q&A breakout conferences afterwards
- Mutual interest meetups scheduled throughout
- Micro.blog 101 live Q&A with Manton and Jean
We’re using a platform called Vito to coordinate the event. You’ll sign in to Vito to see the schedule, watch live sessions, and browse previous sessions. It also has a discussion section for leaving comments or chatting with fellow attendees.
