Where to start: tasks of about an hour

Each task says what good looks like.

• Write up a session you saw. Who spoke, what they said that was new, one quote, the session's link. Good: 300 words a stranger could check against the session page.
• Write about the summit from where you stand. What you saw, who you met, what surprised you. Use our events and companies pages as sources. Good: specific, with the names of the sessions and companies you mean.
• Check a company's page. Open one of our company pages, compare it with the company's own site, and tell us what is wrong or missing. Good: each correction with the link that shows it.
• A photo with a caption. Where, when, who or what is in it, and that it is yours. Good: a caption a reader understands without the photo. (We remove location data from every photo before it is published.)
• Interview someone at a stand. Five questions, their answers, their role, and their yes to being published. Good: their words, not a summary of them.
• Translate an article. Into Portuguese, Spanish, or another language you write well. Good: faithful, plain, and the same length.
• Review a piece. Read one of our articles and tell us what confused you, what is wrong, or what is missing.
