June 23rd to 25th
Collision from Home was done online this year due to the Covid19 crisis that hit the entire world
Below are some of the highlights of interviews that I found of interest in the three days
Additionally I participated in discussion
Title: How do you regulate misinformation in the time of coronavirus?
Hosted by: Charlotte Jee, MIT
Amazing discussion on misinformation and how social media has amplified everyones voices the good, bad and ugly!
I also participated in a online mingle on Thursday at 5pm. Huge thanks to Brian Curran for it :)
In less than 1 hr I spoke to 20 people from all over the world and had some brief and yet interesting discussions. Excited about all the new connections I made in 3 days.
Look forward to Collision 2021 in Toronto.
