Conference Attendees:
We have a great line up of speakers, and you can see the day's schedule on the session page.

All sessions are on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be many attendees, so be sure to arrive early for each session.
Registration will open at 7:45 a.m.

If you need a vegan meal, please visit the registration table to pick up a Vegan meal card to be placed at your seat to notify your server.
