Here are some answers to your most frequently asked questions:

How will this virtual conference work?

This year’s conference will be hosted on Crowdcast, an integrated streaming platform that is designed for the purpose of attendee engagement. Over the course of four days, we’ll be streaming twenty-four 20-minute pre-recorded talks. Each talk will be followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker.

Please use #bigd20 as the official conference hashtag. Post on any social platform, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, etc. We will have some student volunteers at UNT and UTD providing sketchnotes and taking pictures of the conference talks.
