MidCamp is almost here!  We’re thrilled to kick-off sessions tomorrow (3/19) and have a full line-up from 9:00am - 3:45pm CDT. We’re leveraging a virtual format for the first time, so each session page has a direct link to join the presentation via Zoom. We encourage you to share the following schedule with colleagues and look forward to having you join us!  No need to register – the more, the merrier!

How will it work?

Each session page has a direct link to join the presentation via Zoom. The rooms will open shortly before the first presentation each day and stay open throughout the day.

Here’s what you need to attend the sessions: 

• Any device that can run Zoom (computer, phone, tablet)
• Headphones (recommended)
• Good internet/wifi
• Zoom - downloaded on your device

Volunteers needed!

Be a part of something BIG! Help MidCamp go virtual by volunteering! We have plenty of space for those who want to contribute. We need room monitors and hosts to keep the Zoom presentations running smoothly! After all, there are many ways to give back to #Drupal besides code. Fill out our volunteer survey if you're interested. We'll have a training at 4PM CDT today, and it will be recorded for folks who aren't able to join. Check #volunteers in the MidCamp Slack for more info.
