Logistics Overview#

Some of you will participate in person at various satellite events, and others will participate virtually from time zones all over the world. As we have learned throughout the pandemic, each of these gathering styles has strengths and weaknesses. We are committed to providing an engaging and full experience for everyone and will strive to facilitate cross communication and collaboration across all participants.

Time#

OceanHackWeek 2023 will take place:
August 7-11 for the virtual event and the in-person event in Seattle, US
August 8-12 for the in-person event in Western Australia

Details coming soon regarding specific times of participation throughout the day for in-person and virtual contingents.

Detailed schedules are available Schedule page.

Channel of communication: Slack#

We will use the OceanHackWeek Slack workspace as the main channel of communication before, during, and after the hackweek. You should have received an invitation to join this workspace. If you haven’t seen it in your inbox, check your spam folder, or email us at oceanhkw@uw.edu.

Go directly from a channel or direct message chat into a voice or video chat, with screen-sharing capability. This will be particularly useful during hack project time.
