Here's a button to get into the main conference space:

SeaGL makes heavy use of Matrix widgets to provide the conference experience. In particular, widgets are how we embed video streams into Matrix rooms—enabling chat participation while watching the talks. Because of this, you may see quite a few permission prompts like this:

<img class="align-center" alt="Screenshot of a widget prompt in Element - a box above the main chat window labeled Welcome to SeaGL 2023 with text that says 'Using this widget may share data with attend.seagl.org' and a button that says 'Continue'" src="/img/element-widget-prompt.webp" />

Please allow these widgets in order to experience the conference properly.

One option that will solve the above caveats is to use our customized version of Element, available at [attend.seagl.org](https://attend.seagl.org). The reason we don't recommend this in the first place is because submitting your Matrix credentials into random websites is bad practice, and we don't want to encourage it. However, we're mentioning this option for completeness and would happily share our service.

If you insist on using our version of Element—hopefully because you really _do_ trust the SeaGL staff with your Matrix credentials, visit [attend.seagl.org](https://attend.seagl.org/) and click "Sign In" under the "Create 2023 Account" button.

To be clear, we have no intention to store, save, or otherwise misuse your credentials—but there are risk that we feel are important to share.
