TOPLAP will host streaming live coding in May as an ICLC 2024 Satellite Event. In sync with a regional theme of this year’s conference, TOPLAP will highlight live coding in Asia, Australia/New Zealand, and surrounding areas. The signup period will open first to that region, then will open to everyone globally for any remaining open slots.

Group Slots
Groups slots are a way for live coders to share a longer time period and be creative in presenting their local identity. This works well when a group has a local meeting place and can present their stream together. It can also work if group participants are remote. With a group slot, there is one stream key and time is reserved for a longer period. It gives coders more flexibility. Group slots were successfully used for TOPLAP 20 in Feb. (Karlsruhe, Barcelona, Bogotá, Athens, Slovenia, Berlin, Newcastle, Brasil, etc). A group slot can also be used for 2 or more performers to share a longer time slot for a special presentation.

Group slot requirements:

• Designated group organizer + email
• time period requested (in 20 min multiples)
• group name and location
• Submit request to TOPLAP Discord (below)
