Agenda
Each day will have the same basic structure:
- 08:30 - Coffee, settling in
- 09:00 - Session 1
- 10:30 - Morning break
- 11:00 - Session 2
- 12:30 - Lunch
- 13:30 - Session 3
- 15:30 - Afternoon break
- 16:00 - Session 4
- 17:30 - Break for day - we may break early some days
Some sessions will include planned presentations to get discussion going, but the main focus will always be on generating discussion, not just sitting and watching slides. As a result, we will give strong instructions to presenters to assume an expert audience, to be concise, and to identify major questions and unknowns to spur further discussion.
A few sessions are identified as "unconference" sessions. Planning for them happens over on the Unconference wiki page - please suggest a session there if you have a specific topic you'd like to discuss or an idea you'd like to present.
The mapping to sessions below is rough, and we expect to adapt the agenda as the workshop progresses.
