Join us next Thursday, March 13th for a virtual conversation + networking event about how your comms have shifted since the start of the new Presidential administration.

Gather with your fellow #comms4good colleagues to talk about what has changed and what you and your organization are planning for your comms.

You will receive a link to join Gatheround after you've registered.

If you haven’t previously used Gatheround, you’ll need to create an account and sign in. Click “Allow Access” to your video and microphone and voila, you’re in!

What to Expect at Speed Networking:

When you first join, you won’t be seen or heard in the main room. You’ll see the stage at the top of the room — maybe your host will be playing a video — and you’ll also see the chat. Make sure to say hello, and stay engaged in the chat!

Throughout the gathering, you’ll be matched 1-on-1 for conversation games. Your video and audio will turn on and your group will see a series of cards with prompts that are meant to guide your conversation. Note that you will not be able to see yourself unless you hover over your avatar at the bottom of your screen. Once your conversation is over, your group will then automatically be sent back into the main room to do it again!

Here is a video that shows what Gatheround will be like: https://youtu.be/F989lslwyaU
