Live Stream: First National Congress on Culture - May 24th

Join the conversation! In order to ensure truly national access to the first-ever National Congress on Culture, the entire Congress program taking place in Toronto on May 24th will be live streamed allowing Canadians across the country to follow along and participate.

Viewers will be able to chat alongside the live stream with fellow online participants, as well as be able to pose questions and comments – to the floor, so to speak – during Q&A sessions with speakers. A dedicated online host will help facilitate a fluid exchange between the two parallel conversations, representing points of interest from the digital world to the gathering at the Royal York Hotel. A few guidelines to get you ready:

• No login or password is necessary to view the live stream. Anyone with an Internet browser will be able to view the Congress panels and presentations on this page.
• To post messages (i.e. chat) as you view the Congress live stream, sign in using their Facebook account, or by simply entering their email address. Set up your account with LiveStream early to be ready on the day of the Congress.
• You can also contribute to the online discussion via Twitter using the #CultureDays hashtag.
• Make sure your browser is up to date, with the latest version of Flash Player installed.  

Community engagement specialist Helen Yung will host the virtual discussion to build a welcoming and inclusive online experience.

The live stream will cover all the sessions on Friday, May 24, from 9am to 5pm. Culture Day Website
