Schedule 2021

Schedule 2021

Foreword

Koli Calling is about people and community. We come to Koli to see great presentations, discuss them with colleagues, and get to know new people. Koli is a single track conference that allows everybody to see what the others have done, and the conference keeps people together during the whole event.

Due to the continuing pandemic we can’t all be at the same space together and in the same timezone. Last year, we tested running the same single track twice to allow everyone to still see all of the papers and partake in the discussion. Sessions were selected so that different timezones were together for different sessions allowing discussions with Europe and Africa, Australasia, and North and South America. There were socials where two different timezones could discuss anything interesting or just hang out and play a board game together.

This year we do the same, but with additional focus on making the timetable work better for authors as well. The intent is to ensure that authors have the opportunity to present and discuss their papers with each and every conference participant.

Schedule

The leftmost column “Zoom room” shows the program in the single Zoom room. Helsinki GMT+2 is considered the main timezone, and the conference days are given in that time zone. We have provided four columns showing the times in Australia, Europe (Helsinki), and the Americas for convenience. The four timezones are highlighted at times when we assume attendees and presenters might find it easiest to attend a block.

The blocks A-M are all presented twice in the program to make it possible to attend from anywhere across the globe. The paper authors will be present live in at least one of the sessions, and hopefully the 2021 timetable allows them to participate in both. In case the authors are unavailable, a prerecorded presentation will be followed by a discussion.

We will organize a social program, discussions, games, a virtual sauna, etc. on the breaks. Note that the breaks are also marked for multiple timezones. We will fill in the details for the breaks/social program later. The times for poster sessions will be filled in shortly.

TL;DR : Everything is available twice. Just choose the sessions that suit your schedule. The only exceptions are the 4-timezone events (Keynote, Virtual Sauna, Farewell session)
