Attending the Conference

NELS 51 will use two main tools for conference participation in addition to the conference website and YouTube for an overflow space (see below). Those tools are Zoom (https://zoom.us) and Discord (https://discord.com). Though it is possible to use Zoom via a web browser or telephone, we recommend downloading the most recent version of the Zoom software for your platform. Discord will be used for informal communications across individual sessions, including discussion of talks, social events, and generally the kinds of interactions that would normally happen in hallways, during coffee breaks, and the like. Discord needs to be downloaded, and we encourage you to do so before the conference begins.

In order to assure the smooth functioning of the conference, session chairs will be asked to observe stricter time regulation than normal (20-minute presentations followed by 10 minutes of questions or 5-minute presentations followed by 4 minutes of questions). Questions that we’re not able to get to can be posted to Discord.

Given an expected high volume of interest in NELS 51 and the limitations of our Zoom license capacity, we are planning to organize a live cast of NELS 51 presentations in an overflow space on YouTube outside of Zoom. The unlisted YouTube channel link will be sent exclusively to those registered for the conference, and we will delete all related files at the end of the conference.

Access links & passwords

Links to both the Discord server and the Zoom passwords will be sent to registered participant on November 1st. If you register later, all relevant information will be joined to the confirmation message you'll receive once your registration is completed.

Abstracts & visual support material

All documents pertaining to the talks can be accessed via each talk's specific page and will be uploaded as we receive them. A centralized répertoire of the conference documents can be found here.

<h1>Assister à la
conférence</h1>

<p>NELS 51 fera usage de 2 outils principaux (en plus du site web et
du recours à Youtube comme espace de débordement). Il s’agit de Zoom (<a href="https://zoom.us/">https://zoom.us</a>) et de Discord (<a href="https://discord.com/">https://discord.com</a>). Bien qu’il soit possible d’utiliser Zoom à
partir d’un fureteur ou d’un téléphone cellulaire, nous vous recommandons de
télécharger la dernière version du logiciel Zoom sur votre ordinateur et de l’y
utiliser. Nous utiliserons Discord pour ce qui est des communications
informelles entre les séances, incluant conversations sur les présentations,
événements sociaux, et toute interaction normalement possibles dans les
couloirs, aux pauses café, etc. Discord doit être télécharger (gratuitement), ce
que vous êtes invit·e·s
à faire avant le début de la conférence.</p>

<p>Afin d’assurer la fluidité de l’événement, la présidence
de séance sera sommée de faire respecter les limites de temps, plus strictement
qu’à l’habituel (20 minutes de présentation suivies d’une période de questions
de 10 minutes, ou encore 5 minutes suivies de 4 pour ce qui est des
présentations-éclairs), Les questions qui ne pourront être adressées pourront
être posées sur Discord.</p>

<p>Considérant la forte fréquentation attendue
pour cette édition et les limitations associées Zoom, nous entendons organiser
une diffusion simultanée des présentations au NELS dans une aire de débordement
hors-Zoom sur Youtube. Les liens vers ces diffusions en direct non répertoriées seront
uniquement envoyés aux personnes qui se seront inscrites et nous en
supprimerons tout le contenu à la fin du colloque.</p><h2>Liens d'accès et mots de passes</h2><p>Les liens et les mots de passe qui vous donnerons accès aux présentations au serveur Discord du colloque seront envoyés à toutes les personnes s'étant inscrites le <b>1er novembre</b>. Passé cette date, ces informations seront jointes au message de confirmation que vous recevrez une fois votre inscription complétée.</p><h2>Abstracts & visual support material</h2><p>All documents pertaining to the talks can be accessed via each talk's specific page and will be uploaded as they come. A centralized répertoire of the conference documents can be found <a href="https://sites.grenadine.uqam.ca/sites/linguistique/en/nels51/documents">here</a>.</p>
