Head to the ‘Auditorium’ room, where you can view presentations from other community members, and see what they’re working on! 🛠️ 👇

https://gather.town/app/8xI0DtNeRZOfHFba/Open%20Web%20Foundry

Ahead of the event, here are a couple of useful tips to make the most out of the experience.

Check your tech - Make sure that the permissions on your computer allow for video, audio and screen sharing.

Prepare your username - Make sure to have the same username in Gather.Town as in Discord, that way people will be able to find you easily in both places!

Be at the right place at the right time - Use the link below to join Gather.Town. Once there, make your way to the space labelled “Auditorium (entrance for attendees)”, and once there, go to the audience area with chairs and wait there. Please don’t go to the stage area as this is only for presenters.

Lounge and mingle - Once the event is over, head straight to the room called “Lounge”. There you’ll find tables with the presenters so you can find them easily, ask direct questions or simply brainstorm together.
Tomorrow is our final Open Web Foundry masterclass!
