    The conference was run in hybrid mode. Most of the participants presented online but there were also a handful of people physically present at RITMO.

    The conference was run in the afternoon/evening Oslo time, which was found to be optimal due to most participants coming from Europe and North America.

    The program consisted of a single track of oral presentations. The talks were pre-recorded and played back in thematic panels, followed by a panel discussion.

    The conference also featured a concert programme. Norwegian musician and composer Anne Hytta performed traditional music of Telemark on Hardanger fiddle. This included a springar, a type of dance tune in asymmetric triple meter, where the first beat is long and the third short, but where the second beat nevertheless is the gravitational centre of the bar.

    Another performance was based on network musicking between the cities of Oslo, Stockholm, and Berlin. This concert explored the challenges and possibilities of network latency in musical performance.
