Remote Attendance

While the MathsJam Gathering takes place primarily in-person, there will be an online option for those who wish to join remotely. We aim to make as much of the conference accessible remotely as possible. We'll do our best to make sure the remote experience is good, but we may at times experience technical issues for which your patience is appreciated while our volunteer-led team work to resolve them.

Interacting with the event

The interactive part of the event will take place on a Zoom call. The call will require a passcode to join, which will be emailed to registered attendees. This will allow you to meet with other remote attendees, and chat to them between talks.

We'll have a dedicated team member onsite as our hybrid coordinator to serve as a liaison with remote attendees. They will be present on the Zoom call throughout the event sessions. If you have any problems - including with audio or video on the stream - you can ask them anything you need, or email gathering@mathsjam.com.

Talks and Activities

For the talk sessions, we’ll be streaming these live from the room through a YouTube feed, the link to which will be shared with registered attendees only. The livestream will be available with live transcribed subtitles, and the recordings will remain available (on the same links) to watch back for a short while afterwards.

It will be possible for remote attendees to give talks and to join in with the Q&A after each session. Giving talks will involve joining a separate Zoom call - remote speakers will be able to share slides, and be seen and heard by everyone in the room and on the main Zoom call.

After each session of talks, there’ll be a 30-minute break. We’ll be directing the speakers to answer questions at the front of the stage, along with a laptop joined to the main Zoom call so remote attendees can also ask questions. If you have any questions - or just want to chat to the speakers - please post a chat message in Zoom to our hybrid coordinator, indicating whom you’d like to speak to, and we can bring the laptop to that person so they can join the call.

As well as the talks, we have a range of other activities. You will be able to remotely join in with the Competition Competition and some of the Saturday Night Tables (where possible). The MathsJamJam will be live-streamed so you can watch, listen and sing along at home!
