What platform will we use?

We’ll use our own virtual multilingual event platform called Retevent. For a better experience, we recommend using a computer with a cable Internet connection and headphones with a microphone. Smartphones sometimes have only limited support.

On the 5th of March, all registered participants will receive an e-mail with a link to the platform and login information. You do not need to install anything, you only need a web browser (using Chrome or Firefox is recommended).

Is the program suitable for my time zone?

We’re aiming to make this online event as global as possible, therefore we’re aiming to have a schedule suitable for different time zones.

All talks will be recorded and you'll be able to watch them later when you can, even after the event – the platform will stay available one month after the end of the Polyglot Gathering.

What do I get with my online ticket?

In addition to the official dates of Polyglot Gathering Online (from March 6 to 9) during which live talks and multilingual chat rooms will be held, the online platform will stay available for one month after the event! There, you’ll have access to the recorded talks you missed.

Will my registration for Polyglot Gathering Online be valid for the In-Person Polyglot Gathering as well?

No, both events are distinct and require separate registration. Registration and payment for one of these events does not equal registration for both.

Are tickets for Polyglot Gathering Online refundable?

두 이벤트 모두

프로그램에 기여할 수 있습니까?

Yes, we are accepting suggestions for lectures and workshops (45-minute taster sessions). Lectures can be in any major language and some minor ones. Speakers should be motivated by the idea of sharing their passion with the polyglot community. Please fill in this form to submit your proposal for the Polyglot Gathering Online.

저는 한 가지 언어만 할수 있습니다. 참여할 수 있습니까?

Yes! While the Gathering is for language lovers, there is no formal requirement of how many languages you have to speak. If you check out last year’s programme (or the videos from last time) and think you would enjoy an event like this, then you are welcome to join. The range of languages spoken by our participants goes from 1 to >30, with a median of 6.

What languages do you use at the Gathering?

All participants of the Polyglot Gathering have a profile with the list of languages they wish to communicate in. It is not uncommon to change the language in the middle of a conversation or when another person joins in. The most frequent languages are English, Spanish, German, French, Russian and Esperanto. Don’t be surprised if people around you sometimes speak a language you haven’t even heard of before. Most talks are in English, but other languages are used as well. The languages used at each talk are always indicated in the program.

이것은 또 다른 다국어 회의입니까?

아니요. Polyglot Conference는 친구인 Richard Simcott과 Alex Rawlings가 주최하는 별도의 이벤트로 일반적으로 매년 다른 국가에서 온라인으로 진행됩니다. 두 이벤트 모두 다국어 및 언어 애호가와 합류하여 다국어 커뮤니티가 함께 모여 언어에 대한 우리의 큰 열정을 공유할 수 있도록 합니다. 다국어 회의에 참석한 적이 있고 같은 생각을 가진 언어 애호가를 다시 만나고 싶은 참가자를 받게 되어 매우 기쁩니다.
