BoS Conf Online is designed to put the community at the heart of the event. Energising community is an integral part of the BoS Conference experience, and it’s no different online. We encourage honest discussions and listening – not a bravado-filled, empty business card exchange. Our absolute priority is that you have the opportunity to meet and chat with fellow attendees.
Having thought very carefully about how to make BoS-style networking happen at a virtual event, there will be 4 different ways of connecting with other attendees:
- “Coffee Queue” Chats – chance encounters with interesting people.
- Group Exercises – puzzle over difficult questions with other smart entrepreneurs.
- Topic-Focused Breakout Discussions – meet other attendees interested in the same topics as you.
- Slack – organise your own breakout discussions, individually message other attendees, and share cat pictures.
