Program


Instead of streaming pre-recorded videos of the talks, we decided that we wanted to maintain WAY's interactive nature even though this means we needed to accept the risk of technical difficulties and connectivity issues. We may reorder talks within sessions to adapt in the case of technical issues (e.g., if the first speaker in a session has a technical problem, we may ask the second speaker to present while that problem is being resolved). We plan to allow 25 minutes per paper, with 12-15 minutes used for the presentation, leaving at least 8-10 minutes for discussion and some extra time for setting up the screen sharing in Zoom. Instead of splitting the program by topic, we arranged WAY's program this year by the speaker's location.
