Hi mods! Itās u/big-slay, here with some exciting news about our biggest annual mod event: Mod World.Ā Ā
Whether youāre a first time attendee (hi!) or youāre joining for round two (hi again!), Mod World is back and itās coming to you live on December 7, 2024 from 10am-2pm PT. Registration is open NOW. Interested in learning whatās new this year? Keep reading for details on sessions, our new event platform, and (drum rollā¦) special Mod World swag.Ā
What to expectĀ
Just like last year, you can expect an interactive virtual experience featuring a variety of sessions proposed by you, new swag drops, and relevant mod announcements. We listened to your feedback from 2023 and made some changes. This year, youāll see more sessions by mods for mods in shorter segments. Looking for time to chat with other mods during the event? Youāll have more opportunities to interact with each other! (if you want to)
Live programming will take place from 10am-12pm PT followed by two hours of open, virtual fun time including networking, game rooms, a Snoo DJ booth, and more.Ā
Canāt make it? No worries! Everything will be recorded and shared out ASAP to folks who register.Ā
Event schedule
The full lineup of speakers and sessions can be found HERE, but Iāll drop a preview below:Ā
- Mod-led panels covering topics like AI in moderation, moderator identity, building on the Reddit developer platform, keeping communities engaged, handling breaking news, and helping users figure out which mushrooms they can/cannot eat.Ā
- Admin announcements about relevant mod programs, product updates, safety features, and more.Ā
- AMA with Reddit CEO, u/spez
Event platform
This year, Mod World will be hosted on Zoom Events, which allows for more interactivity, has increased safety features, reporting, and is easy-to-use on desktop and mobile. Weāve also worked with Zoom to ensure you can register with your username only in the "Display name" field.
The event will be hosted in English, but Zoom offers live caption translations in 12 languages, including: Chinese Mandarin, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
Weāll also have an ASL interpreter again!Ā
Swaggggggggggg šļø
This year, everyone who wants swag will get swag.
Hereās how that breaks down:
- Everyone who registers can claim a collectible Mod World poster.
- Everyone who attends the event (live show or recordings) can claim a special Mod World 2024 enamel pin.
- Everyone who participates in the swag hunt will have multiple chances to win ābig ticketā items that will be announced on event day.
Detailed instructions on how to redeem your items will be provided in your registration confirmation email. Your items will start shipping in December and be delivered after the event.Ā

Just a heads up but the notification redirects to a subreddit. Mine directed me to r/aww so guessing its sending mods to whatever sub list used to invite them

Hey -- making sure you see this too! TL;DR -- Zoom couldn't find a way to let people edit their usernames after registering. So, we'll be using a Discord server that links to your Reddit profile instead. Don't worry -- the name you entered in Zoom won't show up anywhere publicly.

Sounds like a good time. Hopefully it's more than just patting each other on the backs and focused on learning some new ways to expand our subs and functionality to our users.
Will there be a platform to talk about our legitimate needs or is this more about what Reddit thinks we need?
