The conference companion

Know what to catch next.

Yayá turns a busy conference program into clear, personal recommendations — based on what interests you, what’s happening now, and how much time you have.

✦Explore the program “What’s worth my next hour?”

Ask Yayá

The program, the people, and what’s worth your time — in any language.

Which showcases fit my taste? Who should I meet while I’m here? Where can I eat and still make the 8 PM showcase?

Best match for you

From tonight’s program

Ella Beaumont

Official Showcase · jazz & soul

7:05 – 7:35 PM 2 min walk Chaudière Stage

Delta Hotels Ottawa City Centre — 101 Lyon St N, Ottawa

✦Why this one: you like jazz-rooted soul — Ella’s Nina Simone tribute is the set everyone will be talking about tomorrow — and she’s on in ten minutes, two from the stage.

Open in maps

Three clear ways to choose.

Every recommendation lands as one of three clear labels:

Best match

The session, showcase, or speaker that most closely fits your interests.

Starting soon

The strongest option you can realistically reach before it begins.

Worth the connection

The artist, speaker, delegate, or gathering worth making time for.

In conversation

She answers like a decision, not a menu.

I have 25 minutes. What should I do?

Three ways to spend it: Emma Lamontagne starts on the Capitale Stage in five — that’s the experience. The listening lounge by the lobby is your best nearby. Or coffee downstairs and back in ten — fastest.

Emma. How do I get there?

Down the main stairs, left at the lobby — two minutes. You’ll hear her before you see the sign.
