Who can join?
Meeting Minds Global is for Oxford alumni. As with all of our alumni events, you are welcome to bring guests and we hope you’ll share the events with family and friends at home. REMEMBER you only need to register once per household.
Can I watch the sessions back if I miss them?
We will be uploading all sessions recorded by the Alumni Office to our new catch up service: My Oxford +, which you can access via your My Oxford Online account.
If you don't yet have an account you can create one here.
Which platform is the event run on?
The majority of the sessions will be run using Zoom – please download Zoom onto your device before the event, as this will speed up the joining process. Further guidance on downloading Zoom can be found here.
