Workshops & Programming
What is the agenda?
The day includes a keynote, lunch, a fireside chat, breakout sessions, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities.
How do I sign up for a workshop?
Workshop sign-ups will be available onsite on the day of the event, on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees should plan to visit the workshop check-in desk to secure their place in their preferred session.
Do I need a laptop to attend a workshop?
Yes. All workshops are hands-on, and you'll need to bring a laptop. The workshop labs are not accessible on a phone or tablet, so a laptop is required. We also recommend downloading Google Chrome beforehand, as it is required for most sessions.
My preferred workshop is full, what are my options?
Onsite at the event, you’ll have the opportunity to wait in a standby line for your preferred workshop. At the start of the session, if seats are available, attendees will be admitted from the standby line on a first-come, first-served basis. If your preferred workshop is full, there's still plenty of great content happening across the other breakout sessions
