4. We recommend updating your SRLN Slack profile to let the community know who you are! We’ll be using Slack as a "digital directory" for the conference so add your Name and Social Media Links to stay connected! (See this link for more info: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204092246-Editing-your-profile)
5. Now get to chatting! Introduce yourself on the #introduce_yourself channel and feel free to download Slack  to stay up-to-date on all things SRLN-related. 

The “channels" on the left represent the various topics that will be featured at our Pre-Conference. Go ahead and  start a conversation  on the topic that you’re interested in! Not finding a topic that interests you? You can  start a new channel  to discuss anything from your hometown to your favorite nearby coffeeshops. We’re excited to see how our network can coordinate and connect through this widely-adopted communication platform.
