This is one of the great disadvantages of living in an area running on PST, I am far too early to participate in everything. I didn’t catch it in any of the other announcements, but will the talks be recorded in any way to be able to see them later?

[heatherk (Heather Koziol)]

I’d also love to know as 7am GMT is the middle of the night for me too.

[MultilingualBronxite (Miguel A)]

Hi Richard! I think the UTalk Multilingual Quiz is missing in the schedule in this post. The quiz is at 2 PM GMT.

[RitaRosenback]

Please note that Most Effective Cure for Monolingualism in the World: Raise Multilingual Kids! starts at 15:30 GMT (11.30 am NY, 3.30 pm London, 4.30 pm Paris)
Thank you Richard for inviting Raising Multilinguals LIVE to organise a panel on the Polyglot Conference platform. Ute Limacher-Riebold, Tetsu Yung and myself are excited to run the panel with yourself, Heather Kozioł, Shereen Sharaan and Thomas H Bak to mark this important day!
