ALDcon 2026: Online Scavenger Hunt
How it works
To add a bit of fun (and friendly distraction) to the conference, we’re running an online scavenger hunt alongside the programme. You can dip in and out at any point—there’s no obligation to complete everything, and creativity is very much encouraged.
Prizes
This is not about speed or perfection. Instead, entries will be looked at holistically, with an emphasis on: Engagement – getting involved and having a go; Creativity – imaginative, thoughtful, or humorous responses; interpretation – clever or unexpected takes on the prompts.
Sharing
Please note: With your permission implied through submission, any resources, recommendations, or ideas shared through the scavenger hunt may be collated and shared more widely after the conference, for example in a summary, blog post, or resource list. Mostly, this is about sharing ideas, getting to know each other a little better, and having some fun during the conference. We hope you enjoy taking part—happy hunting!
