What is the format for the “live competition”?

During the Quanties party, we will hold a live competition among the finalists for “competition” awards to determine the award recipient. The competition will consist of a live demonstration, followed by live voting by the in-person and virtual audience.

Each presenter will be given 2 minutes to present their case for winning the award they are a finalist for. Up to two microphones will be provided for each presentation. Each presenter will be given 2 minutes to give their presentation/demonstration and 30 seconds to clear the stage following their presentation. Organizers will provide one HDMI connection and one audio cable to each presenter. Presenters will present from their own devices. Props, staging, cast etc. that require more time to stage will cut into the presenter’s time.

What are the voting rules for the live competition?

Voters are the actual attendees at the Quanties Party. Voters must pre-register to receive a single-use token or voting credential that they can use at the appropriate time. “Voters” need not be physically present at the event if they have registered ahead of time to vote.
