Hi @knolleary @dceejay - I'd like to confirm that you're available to run this session at 9 a.m. GMT-5 on Monday, June 22 (3 p.m. BST on 22 June). Let me know if that works and we will get it added on the website!

Also, please share any information you would like to surface to attendees prior to the session. If there are links, install directions, etc that would be great to include!

[dceejay]

OK with me.

[knolleary]

OK - I think we've dropped the ball on this one as I've been heads down getting my talk for the event sorted.

@jorydotcom how are these sessions going to run? Where are they hosted? What facilities are available? Is it a live-stream video, how do we interact with participants?

I'm slightly nervous this close to the event that we don't really know what the plan is. We haven't promoted it in the node-red community yet as we aren't sure what to promote.

[knolleary]

Thanks for the email @jorydotcom - that answers all my questions. May need to rejig what we had planned slightly, but looking forward to it.
