There's lots more information here ([link removed]) .

You'll need to make sure you've got the following free software up and running in good time — don't leave it until five minutes before the start!
** Zoom

Presentations will be taking place via Zoom. Before TICTeC starts, please make sure you have downloaded the Zoom launcher ([link removed]) , or read this page ([link removed]) to learn more about Zoom, including how to use it in your browser.
The link to the conference is [link removed], and you can also find this at the top of the agenda page ([link removed]) .
** Slido
------------------------------------------------------------
Slido allows the audience to submit and vote for audience questions, so the ones that the speaker answers are the ones most people want to hear. Go to slido.com ([link removed]) and enter the code #tictec. You may like to download the mobile app instead - just search for 'slido' in your app store or visit sli.do ([link removed]) .
** Access to Google docs
------------------------------------------------------------
There’ll be a collaborative document for each session where we can all work together to take notes for each session.
You won’t need a Google account to view or add to these documents.
** Who's on the line-up?
------------------------------------------------------------
Expect barnstorming keynote sessions from Nanjala Nyabola ([link removed]) and Hollie Russon Gilman ([link removed]) , each giving profound insights into the extraordinary political times we are living in, from a global perspective.
There'll also be sessions from representatives of Iceland's local and national government and civil society; research presented from Uganda, Taiwan, North and South America and beyond; and speakers from a range of organisations including Civic Hall, Citizens Foundation of Iceland, g0v.tw, Transparency International, The African Legal Information Institute, Frag Den Staat... and more.
Check the agenda ([link removed]) for full timings and more details.
