The forum is a central place to interact with other attendees during an event or year-round. You can create posts and comments, just like on your favorite social media site.
Because it isn’t tied to specific content, it’s a great place to interact between sessions or to have conversations related to the overall platform and event.
About topics and posts
Topics are created by your site organizers to guide the conversation. Within a topic, you can create a post and comment on others' posts.
Open a topic
The forum home page lists all of the topics. Select one to open it and see the posts inside.
