Appendix

• Don’t have access to your event workspace yet? Navigate to https://ohyay.co/tryit.html. This will create a temporary workspace where you can check to make sure everything is running smoothly.

  This event will be hosted on ohyay, a new place for virtual experiences. ohyay works best on a laptop or desktop computer (not mobile devices, like a cell phone or tablet), and runs the fastest on Google Chrome. We also recommend using headphones for a better auditory experience.
