Coffee Chats are a new addition to ACES virtual conference. Coffee chats will be 30-minute small group sessions scheduled between educational sessions each day of conference.
Each small group will focus on specific topics within the editing world and give participants a chance to share, connect and learn from one another. Coffee chats are included with registration and require sign up at the time of registration.
The ACES virtual conference connects editors, communication professionals, and language experts from around the globe who share a common goal: to improve the quality of the written word and the working lives of editors. ACES Accelerate is designed to guide attendees forward — in their career, personal development, and editing proficiency.
Attendees will receive entrance to each day's virtual sessions and the keynote address, access to the conference mobile app, and the opportunity to register for field-specific Coffee Chats.
All attendees will have access to over 40 sessions. Sessions slides and presenter videos are pre-recorded to ensure accessibility and smooth access for all guests. Attendees must be present during the assigned session time slot to participate in the interactive speaker-led live chat and Q&A session, and to receive post-conference access to the Q&A content.
The keynote address and Coffee Chats are live, conference-only events that will not be recorded or included in post-conference resources. Conference attendees will have access to the session recordings and handouts for a limited time after the conference.
