Last day before Autscape! Here is the #1 and final Autscape Countdown newsletter. In this issue, we outline the Home groups, a way you can use to get to know new people at Autscape.

2 days until Autscape! Here is the #2 Autscape Countdown newsletter. This issue is about Wellbeing: how to manage time, stress, and physical, sensory and social needs during Autscape.

3 days until Autscape! Here is the #3 Autscape Countdown newsletter. This issue includes information about opportunities to get comfortable with Zoom, an update on the social space, and how to get a space and calendar entry for an informal event such as a discussion or game that you would like to run.

4 days until Autscape! Here is the #4 Autscape Countdown newsletter. Autscape is not just about formal presentations and workshops. We have a number of entertainment and leisure offerings. Here is a reminder.

The calendar has moved to: https://teamup.com/ksrticzoh2hiti268g

Booking closes tomorrow, Friday 24 July, at midnight. Remember additional tickets in the same household are half price.

5 days until Autscape! Here is the #5 Autscape Countdown newsletter. The social space is ready to launch! It will be open to registered participants from 6pm today on Discord, an easy to use chat platform where we have set up our own Autscape. You can use this space to find out what is happening, ask questions of organisers, and schedule informal activities beginning straight away and going on through the weekend after Autscape. There is a team of moderators ready to welcome you, so have a go!

6 days until Autscape! Here is the #6 Autscape Countdown newsletter with info on accessing the event and presentation formats.

7 days until Autscape! Here is the #7 Autscape Countdown newsletter with advice on what kind of technical equipment you will need or might want to have in order to participate.

We now have nearly 350 people registered, but we've decided to leave booking open until midnight on Friday 24 July to give people who heard late a chance to book. There won't be any extensions after that because we need the weekend to get the final details sorted.

8 days until Autscape! Here is the #8 Autscape Countdown newsletter. This issue is mainly about what's on offer for young people, but those who don't enjoy heavy lectures will probably also find something here.

9 days until Autscape! Here is the #9 Autscape Countdown newsletter. The focus today is on things you might want to prepare a contribution for.

Just 10 days until the first ever online Autscape! Here is the #10 Autscape Countdown newsletter. There should be one each day until Autscape.

Main news:

• The programme is finally ready.
• Registration deadline is midday 20 July.

The Autscape board regrets to announce that, due to the continuing social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this year's in-person conference at Giggleswick School has had to be cancelled.

So Autscape 2020 will be an entirely online event. This will include online discussions and informal sessions on similar lines to a physical Autscape event, as well as live streaming of presentations. We are continuing to prepare, with over 100 registrations received so far.

• Booking is now open.
• The Call for Proposals is live.
