Joint IAML/DLfM poster session

This took place on Wednesday 28 July (17:00–18:30 UTC) using the gather.town platform. We chose this platform to attempt to create an interactive online user experience – as if you are really at a live poster session. Participants and presenters will join us in a 2D world with 8-bit graphics, walking around the conference centre by moving their avatar with their keyboard's arrow keys. User instructions are now available here.

Hot Topics

The Hot Topics session took place on Friday 30 July at 17.00-18.00 UTC. Suggested topics can be found here (must be logged in to view).

Exhibitors

Exhibitor sessions were scheduled during the breaks on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Recordings

IAML members can access recordings of many of the sessions (pending permission from the speakers) through the members-only page on the IAML website. (And if you are not a IAML member, you can join here).
