FAQ

Is this conference the same as the Wolfram Technology Conference?

No. The Wolfram Mathematica Virtual Conference is a free, half-day event that will include talks with Q&A and access to virtual networking. The Wolfram Technology Conference in Champaign, Illinois is a fee-based, three-day event that will include 100+ talks and hands-on workshops, in-person networking, and access to Wolfram developers. Depending on your schedule, ability to travel, and learning preferences, we have a way to help you get the most out of Mathematica.

Who is this conference for?

Everybody—from Mathematica non-users to new users looking to expand their Mathematica skills to experienced users looking for specific solutions. The conference tracks cover diverse fields and applications across experience levels.

Attend if you are interested in:

  • Learning about Mathematica for the first time
  • Expanding your knowledge beyond your current uses of Mathematica
  • Getting more information before attending the Wolfram Technology Conference

How does the Wolfram Mathematica Virtual Conference work?

Once you've registered, you will receive a confirmation email with access details. Reminders will be sent prior to the event.

Will there be an opportunity to ask questions at the conference?

Yes. The last 10 minutes of each talk are reserved for Q&A. You can submit questions via chat during the talk.
