| #helpdesk | This channel is used by all conference attendees to request tech support. We ask people to prefix their questions with a topic, e.g., [Zoom], [RocketChat], etc. On-call volunteers always start a thread when responding to a question. And continue the conversation in the thread. Once the question is resolved, they will mark it with :checkmark: emoji. | Public | Y | Y |

| #new-channels | This channel was used to announce new channels made by conference attendees. It turns out many people have created different channels during the conference, including some topic-based channels (eg., #bio-clinical-nlp), university-based channels (e.g., #uwnlp) to get to know different research groups, location-base channels (e.g., #singapore), etc. | Public | N | Y |
