We are super excited to have you come join us as a guest for Quantum Software Talks! The basic format is an hour long, broken down into two sections:
- An intro to the projet you will be talking about. (~20-30 min)
- Demos and QnA with the live audience on Twitch (~30-40 min)
If you want to see some examples, check out our YouTube playlist.
About one week out from the talk, the Unitary Fund team will check in with you to see if there are any questions or issues about the event. As a part of that check in, we will do a tech check to make sure that all of the streaming and screen sharing will work properly for the talk. We will be using Twitch to host our talks, and all you will need to do is join a skype call with your host and we will take care of hosting the stream to Twitch. We will test the Skype connection, audio, video, and any demos you might want to do to make sure everyone will be able to see what awesome stuff you are showing!
Approximately an hour before the talk, the speaker and Unitary Fund team will do one last tech check to make sure all the devices are working properly. We can help with any last questions, and run through our speaker checklist:
- Water/drink handy
- Any doors/windows closed for best audio environment
- Slides and/or demos are up and running
- Pet has enough treats 🐕
When the start time comes, we will get the call started and make sure you are invited/have the join link. We start most events with a couple of minutes of chatting while everyone arrives, so that people who have meetings right up until the event can get a brief break. During the talk, your Unitary Fund moderator (Sarah) will introduce you as well as handle questions from chat (if you like). We can either collect questions for the end or help the chat by interrupting when appropriate with questions. After talks, we usually have a few minutes for any additional questions as well as time for you the speaker to promote current projects and things you are excited about!
All Quantum Software Seminar talks will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel, primarily for folks that are in different time zones and can’t join live. If you want to preview the video before we upload, let us know!
