The EXPERIENCEit Event Chat!
A lot of work has gone into making sure the Chat functionality in this App is World-Class
To access the EXPERIENCEit Event Chat, click the 'Messages' button at the bottom of the App - it provides so many options to chat 😃
There you will find 3 tabs - 'EVENT', 'ROOMS' and 'PRIVATE'
EVENT: This is where all the general chat about the community is available. This feed will continually flow with lots of chats - including new member welcomes, news about upcoming events and general topics about events. We encourage you to interact with these chats and make your own conversations come to life.
ROOMS: These are chat rooms for specific topics; for EXPERIENCEit 2026 they are based about our TED-Talk Speakers topics and the Behaviour Lab session - jump in an have your say.
PRIVATE: This is effectively a log of your direct messages with fellow members - these are your private chats.
HOW TO DO FUNKY STUFF:
When sending a message, you can add all sorts of stuff to make it come to life—including images and Giphys. We will be using these for upcoming events and discussions, with lots of photos of community events.
If you press and hold a message, you get lots of options to interact. These include likes, support, flagging messages etc. The chat function in our app also allows community members to set-off their own threads, enabling conversations to continue down key areas of interest and commonality.
RULES:
We don't really want to have a list of lengthy T&C's of usage. However, there are a few framework rules we will include to start:
- Be NICE - be SUPPORTIVE - 'Kind People are our Kind of People'!
- Please don't use this the chat to openly Sell!! There will be enough time to do that at EXPERIENCEit and our future get-togethers (online and in person)!
May the Chatting begin....
