Social Events
To attend social events you need to register. You will also want to pre-load and set up (free!) accounts for any events you want to attend. Visit the conference system's #social channel at the time of the event for more details.
On Tuesday we'll meet up using Gather for a virtual meet-up.
On Wednesday we'll play some board games on Board Game Arena. What you can do in advance: sign up there and have your account name ready. We'll aim for quick and easy games such as 6 nimmt!, Incan Gold, Martian Dice, or other suggestions.
On Thursday we'll set up attendee-only matches of Rocket League. You'll want to download, install, and try the tutorial beforehand (don't worry, we're all bad). Have your Epic account name handy at the start of the event.
