What technology do I need to prepare for the conference?

Here are a few tips to equip yourself with a smoother conference attendance experience:

  • Join from a compatible browser. Hopin works the best on Chrome (highly recommended) and Firefox. Make sure your browser is up to date. Please note that Hopin is not compatible with Safari, Internet Explorer, or Edge.
  • Check your internet speed and network. We recommend a minimum of 5mbps download and 2mbps upload. Ideally, we recommend 30mbps download and 10mbps upload or higher for the best quality - test your speed here.
  • If you are using a VPN (network) or device provided by your employer, please ensure your device can access and share your camera and microphone.
  • Ensure you can access the following website domains to use Hopin: *.hopin.to;*.tokbox.com;*.pusher.com;*.herokuapp.com;*.mux.com;*.twilio.com.
  • You may have to check with your IT department if using a device or network provided by your employer.
  • Restart your computer before joining the event. This ensures that there are no other video applications holding onto audio or video for any reason.
  • Please use headphones when participating on-screen. This will help eliminate echo and feedback.

Will the conference be recorded? Can I access the recordings afterward?

While we highly encourage attendees to join the live conference and interact with each other, we understand that some of our attendees may not be able to attend the full conference due to time differences. The talks taking place on the Main Stage will be recorded and posted online after the conference. Please give us about a week to gather the recordings and place them in a location for attendees to access. We will send an email to all attendees with instructions to access recordings and materials once the recordings have been uploaded.We will update attendees if we would be able to share breakout session recordings online upon the completion of the virtual conference.

Can I stay on the conference platform to network with other attendees after each day's talks are complete?

Yes, although the conference-wide activities are scheduled 3pm - 7pm and 9am - 1pm respectively, you can take advantage of the conference platform to network with other attendees by chat or 1:1 video calls on Hopin after the talks are completed. However, limited/delayed tech support from the UX Hustle team may occur beyond the conference-wide activities timeframe. 

The conference site on Hopin will be completely closed after 2 pm ET on September 26.
