- What is the timetable on site?
Prior to the event, please refer to the schedule. Once on site, individual sessions will be assigned a time and location on the Big Boards which can be found in the main bar area.
- How many sessions run simultaneously?
As many as 10 sessions can run simultaneously, depending on scheduling, which can be found on the Big Boards. This can be more or less depending on the time slot, but the Stream team are happy to promise there will be plenty to do. To plan your day, please refer to the Big Boards.
- How many people normally attend a session?
Anywhere from 5 to 100. Sessions can be anything from small intimate groups of specialists, to activities for the whole camp.
- I'm holding a session. How do I know what size room to book?
If you're not sure how many people might attend your session, please speak to the Director of your chosen activity or to a member of the Stream team. They'll be able to help you calculate the best space for you. If in the happy event your session is overwhelmingly popular, there is the possibility of hosting it for a second time. Please speak to the Stream team to arrange.
- Should I bring sports or swimming equipment with me?
Sure. There is a beautiful swimming pool on site, as well as tennis courts and various water sport facilities. Stream is an extraordinarily immersive event though. The Stream team would remind you to check your schedule before packing your surfboard.
- What language will be spoken at the event?
The language of Stream is English. You may hear other languages used in private meetings, but if you are speaking to a group, asking a question of a speaker, or making a general enquiry to the team, it should be in English.
- What materials will be available on site?
We are happy to supply glue, crayons, biros and flipcharts from the Stream stationary cupboard. If you do need to bring any special materials or props for your session/performance, you will need to bring them with you or arrange delivery in advance. Please see travel & accommodation for more information.
If you have a question that isn't answered here, please email us, and we'll do our best to assist you.
