Where is What ?
Participation starts in Chat. This is where everyone from everywhere meets. From Buenos Aires to Zurich. From Nairobi to Sydney. From Keynote Speaker to helping hand. From core developer to casual useR. Our Chat is a lightweight, mobile & screen reader friendly chat platform to make sure the hurdle to take part and interact is as low as possible for everyone.

What’s a Marmot?
A marmot is whistling gnawer living in mountain regions mostly. In a nod to Switzerland and the city of Zurich maRmots became the mascot of useR! 2021. During useR! 2021, maRmots will scurry around the conference, mostly in our Chat always on the look out to help you. If you have questions, can’t find a virtual room or channel, have a technical problem or are lost otherwise, contact one of your maRmots sending them a direct message (DM).
