However, all (except lightning talks) will have a live Q&A session. Pre-recorded talks will be provided a few days before the event. On the day of the conference, we will live stream the pre-recorded talk and then switch to a live Q&A session at the end (last 10 minutes for most talks). We will recorded the Q&A portion to include in the final video when it is posted on the LLVM YouTube channel. We hope this will satisfy the needs of many individuals who want to either watch ahead of time or watch it live.</blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class="">Birds of a Feather sessions will be live through a Zoom call and not recorded</blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">How will round tables work?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class="">While we are still working out the details, we envision round tables will occur through video chat and be live during the event.
