Hopin

Hopin is an online conference platform. We are advised that they own Streamyard now, so they may be well integrated with it.

It has the core capabilities we need for our conference.

• Stages for a couple of speakers and the audience silent. Workshops in which 20 people can talk and more people can attend.
• Through Streamyard, flexibility "backstage", in the "green room" and, we think, a way for interpreters to give a second audio channel.
• Safe space capabilities: organizers can silence or expel a participant
• Recordings: We can record most sessions (possibly not second audio channel) automatically and get the recordings later
• EMWCon and SMWCon used this platform, for smaller more techy MediaWiki conferences than this one.

• Add-ons: https://hopin.com/products/product-integrations. (one is Kahoot)

• Business plan: https://hopin.com/pricing -- would come with much more support/training, but the charge is annual

• Training: https://hopin.com/learn#on-demand-list. -- many videos
