Summit Logistics

Online Meeting

The Summit will be virtual. Live sessions will run via Microsoft Teams, and all communication will happen via Slack. We recommend you install the Microsoft Teams app, rather than connecting through the web browser. You will receive an invitation to Slack via email (please check your spam boxes if you don’t see it).   If you don’t receive this Slack invitation, please email the Summit Steering Committee at atlantis.summit@gmail.com.

Please see the Slack Channels, organized by theme based on the Summit agenda. For easy access to and up to date information about the Summit, see pinned posts in the #announcements channel, and also the channels for #code-of-conduct and #slack-tips (for an introduction to using Slack).
