Do you miss engaging with your fellow EWBers on a personal level? You'll find using Gather.Town, an online platform that "gamifies" online engagement, the perfect way to connect with other EWBers in the comfort of your own home! Create your 8-bit avatar and explore the "campus space" we've custom built for this event. As you move closer to another EWBer, your cameras will turn on, and you'll be able to engage in group conversations, just like an in-person conference.

Casual

Conversations

Are you tired of turning on your camera during Zooms calls? Well then feel free to join one of our "Walk and Talk" sessions, where our panel of presenters will have unstructured, yet engaging conversations as they participate in everyday activities. You can join this block and leave it on the background as you continue with your day. Think of it like a podcast, but without any of those pesky ads.

Structured

Sessions

Simply looking for technical expertise and experience, without much fuss? Then this is the block for you. Through a series of webinars and workshops, learn about various EWB topics from some of the most dedicated members across the country. From hands-on workshops to breakout sessions, get the classic conference content that you can take back to your chapters and share with your members. Come think with us!
