- Hosting a talk, panel or meetup/BOF/SIG in our online interactive virtual venue
- A dedicated 30, 60 or 90 minute slot to run your open content session which will be added to the official ACCU schedule
- Free entry to ACCU Online conference

We are looking for people who would be interested in creating posters and presenting their latest programming work or project to attendees and experts in the field. This includes:
- Hosting a Variety of Multimedia Poster Materials which will be embedded in a custom built poster booth in our virtual venue for the entire duration of the event

Anyone who registers a ticket to the conference is welcome to apply and propose a five minute presentation which can be about anything related to C/C++ or coding in general (within reason)
Unlike Open Content and Online Posters, all lightning talks will be recorded and published to the ACCU YouTube channel after the event.
Virtual Venue (Gather Town)
An exciting, interactive, online conference experience awaits you in our virtual venue.
- Watch Talks With Other Attendees - Like at an in-person conference, you can watch the online talks from presentation rooms in Gather Town.
- Interactive Group Video Chat - Use the Proximity-based Video & Audio Chat for spontaneous interaction with attendees like in a physical venue
- ACCU Quiz Hunt - Take part in our virtual puzzle game by hunting down pub quiz questions hidden in objects around our virtual venue.
- Interactive Objects - Play piano (even as a duet), enjoy embedded games, materials and other fun activities
Discord
Discord is a free-to-use text and audio based discussion app that is available as a website, mobile and desktop app and will be used as the support and communication system for the conference. You can chat with speakers and attendees before, during and after each session at the conference and access live support from one of our online volunteers if you run into an issue.
Zoom Webinar
All of the main conference sessions will be streamed online through Zoom Webinar which allows us to provide the highest quality stream possible and to facilitate the on-demand access to each session. However, to create a more interactive experience, speakers will be encouraged to take questions for their talk in our virtual venue which allows attendees to video chat with the speaker.
Conference Platform / Portal
While attendees will be encouraged to use Gather Town to attend main conference sessions, we also have a user friendly website that can be used as an alternative for anyone who either has an accessibility issue or that is unable to connect to Gather Town. In addition, this website also hosts the schedule for the event and allows for users to create personal agendas for the event.
