EOC 2023 - Schedule Explained

Written by Stephane Boucher

Welcome to the 2023 Embedded Online Conference! Like with previous years, this year's event will be a mix of pre-recorded on-demand sessions and live Zoom sessions. We've carefully curated the schedule to ensure that you have access to a wealth of valuable content throughout the week.

Most talks will be released on-demand, while most workshops and keynotes will be done live on Zoom. There will also be multiple live 20-minute-long Q&A sessions happening throughout the week, providing you with the opportunity to engage with speakers and delve deeper into the topics being discussed.

Friday April 21st - Theatre Talks Head Start

To give you a head start on a very busy program, all Theatre Talks and Demos will be released on-demand on Friday morning (04/21), at 6:00 am EDT, a few days before the official start of the conference (04/24).  This will give you the full weekend to watch as many sessions as you'd like and prepare to attend the Q&A sessions of interest on Monday.

Monday, April 24th - Day 1

Although this guide is a good overview to better understand how the conference will unfold, we encourage you to consult the schedule on a daily basis and not fully rely on your personal calendars as last-minute changes could happen.

We also strongly encourage you to add the sessions of interest to your Agenda (there are multiple ways to add a session to your agenda). This will help ensure that you don't miss out on any of the valuable content that will be available throughout the week.

Wishing you a very happy and insightful 2023 Embedded Online Conference,

Stephane & Jacob
