Manual: How to use the mobile or web app?
1. Onboard with your account
After purchasing your ticket, you will receive an email with onboarding instructions (can take up to 24h). Install the Talque mobile app (optional) or access via the browser.
During the onboarding process, you sign up with your personal Talque account. We will ask a couple of questions in order to connect you with other participants of similar interests.
2. Schedule your personal festival calendar
Within the Festival Hub, you find all relevant information on our agenda:
Browse the program and find out who already confirmed their participation.
You can add your favorite sessions to your personal festival calendar. Presentations and workshop material appear as soon as speakers, hosts, artists upload them for you.
3. Book your virtual seat for workshops
First come first serve – via the button “attend” you reserve your seat for workshop sessions, which will be run as interactive webinars. The number of seats will be limited due to technical and didactic reasons.
But don’t panic – we will provide a live stream of each workshop inside the Festival Hub accessible for everybody.
4. Start networking
Make use of the Festival Hub even before the festival starts:
Interact with all so far registered participants, add users to your private contacts and schedule dates for virtual meetings.
If you want to share, present and discuss your work or ideas, prepare yourself to host an Open Unconferenced session.
5. Go online and participate
Once the festival has started, you will have access to all agenda sessions (live streams) and features for networking and collaborating:
- Host your own Open Unconferenced session
- Dial in on our Emergency Broadcast Studio to bring your questions on stage.
- Participate in the chat discussions of each agenda session
- Communicate with your contacts (video calls, 1:1 or in a group)
- Enter your workshops by clicking the button “enter session” (previous seat reservation required – watch the stream instead if you missed it)
