Make your event more inclusive by lowering the bar

Take time to think. Discussions work great
in real time or async, and conversations
evolve into collaborations.

<blockquote>
Discussions at conferences often happen in small groups — most
people are not able to participate because they are not present,
or are too intimidated to join. In the conferences we organized
with Zulip, questions or ideas were spread openly. Anybody could
get a chance to contribute, and to benefit from new ideas and
opportunities for collaboration.
<br/><br/>
Zulip turned out to be a great asset that we plan to keep even
when we go back to face-to-face events.
