Wednesday, October 12
Wednesday is a pre-symposium day with tours, workshops, and an evening social for people local to Brighton and those coming in from afar. There are also three segments of online workshops – hop on the RSD11 hub.
All times are BST. Convert your timezone to BST.
hybrid = venue + hub on zoom
The white boxes indicate sessions that bring together people who are online with those who are in person in Brighton. Online participants join via the RSD11 hub on Zoom while in-person venues will broadcast the session.
online = zoom hub
A grey box indicates that the session is hosted online. There's a single #RSD11 Zoom link for the entire symposium, and the virtual lobby and chat will open 30 minutes before the session begins. Brighton sites will have dedicated spaces for those who want to join online sessions – however, they are not broadcast, so these are "bring your own device" sessions.
in-person = onsite venues only
There are several onsite venues, and details can be found in the black boxes marked "venue". Refreshments and lunch are provided.
