Overview of the Conference Platforms
Sched is the event management platform we use and where you’ll find the entire MCN 2020 conference program. From there, you can access all of the live conference sessions links, including after the conference ends.
Zoom is our core viewing platform. To participate in the conference, you’ll be joining webinars and meetings on Zoom. Everything other than sessions conducted under Chatham House Rules will be recorded and uploaded to Vimeo and accessible via Sched upon completion.
Vimeo is where we host pre-recorded sessions and all video after the conference. You can access the videos via Sched, so no need to create an account.
Slack is a robust chat platform that is the glue of our experience. Think of it as the hallways between sessions.
Twitter is Twitter, our community’s preferred public platform to share ideas and insights about the conference, and much more. Use #MCN2020 and any other hashtags promoted in sessions.

Keep in mind that all MCN sessions, social events, and even the spaces you or other attendees may personally create for keeping the conversation going are expected to abide by MCN’s Community Guidelines and Code of Conduct. If you have been involved or witnessed an incident during the MCN conference that you believe violates our Code of Conduct, report it to MCN by submitting this name-optional Code of Conduct Violation Report Form.
