Schedule

Like all things in life, this schedule is tentative and subject to change without notice. Please note that the schedule is slightly different than in different years: you’ll enjoy two sessions, back-to-back, and then a 20 minute break. Each session will be 15 minutes long with a 5 minute allotment for questions. So many sessions! So much awesome!
