QS Virtual event platform guide
Everything you need to know about joining a QS event.
We're so excited to welcome you to our online event! It will be hosted on the Accelevents platform, an update on our previous event format that allows for even more connections, interactions and calls than ever.
It's an online space that's easy to navigate and gives you the flexibility to meet and speak with who you want and join the sessions that interest you.
How it works
-
If you haven't already, register on the event page. Our events tour the world so find one near you to make sure you get relevant information.
-
We'll then email you confirming your registration.
-
Close to the event date, we'll email you a join link – it's that simple!
-
Follow the link at the event start time to be directed to the platform.
-
Once in the platform, you can visit the booths, sessions and live discussions as you like – see our platform preview for more details.
-
You'll have the fantastic opportunity to speak directly with exhibitors and your peers over video call. You don't have to use your webcam, but we recommend it to get the most out of the experience and make a great first impression! If you're not sure where to start, take a look at our networking help for some ideas.
-
There’s no dress code, but we recommend business casual attire (even from home) so you're ready to join any meetings or forums.
-
Our team will be available throughout the event, just find us at our QS booth. You can speak with us over live chat or video call for event support or wider study and scholarship advice.
