The Figurenotes team will host online drop-in sessions throughout 2026. These will take place every few months over the course of the year, and will usually take place in the first week of the month.

Each 30min sessions will provide a space to ask questions and gain guidance on all things Figurenotes. Some will be more general and open sessions, whilst others may have a particular focus, such as using Notate or working with a specific group.

Come along and ask questions, gain insight or just bounce ideas off the Figurenotes team and the wider community.

The first is a general drop-in session and takes place on Wed 4th February at 4pm.
