Will you offer accommodations for people with disabilities?

Attendee Cohorts
What’s an attendee cohort?
Attendee cohorts are small, facilitated groups of about ten attendees aided by two facilitators. Each cohort meets before the conference starts so participants get to know each other and determine shared learning goals. Cohorts check-in each day via Zoom, and discuss the event in private Slack channels during the conference.
How do I join a cohort?
Cohorts are available to virtual conference ticket holders only. After registering for the conference, you will receive an email with information about joining. As space is limited, it’s first-come-first-served—so sign up ASAP!
How much does it cost to join a cohort?
There is no fee for participating in a cohort.
Who is participating in each cohort?
Each cohort’s participants are other conference attendees who want to attend the conference, make friends, and learn together.
What’s my role within a cohort?
If you’re participating in a cohort, you’re with peers you’ll want to get to know (and vice versa). And you’ll want to learn with them. Please be an active contributor to the chat discussion, react to the presentations, share relevant articles, and be supportive of each other. In two words: show up!
How should I behave in the cohort?
With the kindness and generosity that you’d like others to offer you. Remember that it’s easy to misinterpret what people say in a purely digital environment. Let your facilitator know if you need help or have concerns. And please familiarize yourself with our Code of Conduct so you know our principles for being together, and procedures if there is a problem.
Who are the cohorts’ facilitators?
Our facilitators are people like you who want to attend the conference and who have volunteered to facilitate your cohort. Please help them by being an active and generous participant.
How do I get help?
Post a request in your cohort’s Slack channel, or email conferences@rosenfeldmedia.com
What happens after our final wrap up meeting?
We’ll be in touch to find out how your cohort went and how we could improve on the idea. We also plan to keep cohorts’ private Slack channels open indefinitely, so you’ll be able to stay in touch with your cohort.
