Networking and Social Space

A channel on Microsoft Teams will be available for all those that attend any of the Making an Impact sessions to continue conversations, chat informally, network and make connections. 

Kumospace

All participants that register for any Making an Impact session will be sent an email with a link to a specific Kumospace “space”. A virtual space that has rich illustrations and interactive environments to help facilitate engagement that feels informal and close to what you would experience when sharing the same physical space.

You will be welcome to visit this space throughout Making an Impact 2021 to continue conversations and make connections particularly on Fridays 14, 21, 28 May and  11 June from 3:30-4:00pm.

If you'd like to join us, the only requirement is that you would need to sign up for a Kumospace account (it takes 30 seconds and they only ask for your name and email address). You can find information on how to use Kumospace here.

Zoom meeting guidance

Guidance for accessing online platforms can be found here. These guides will help you with accessing Zoom and to make you aware of the features available to you during sessions. Please also refer to The Academy’s code of conduct before registering and attending sessions.
