Tips for the Event

  • Provide simple clear signage
  • Do intros at the “all hands” meeting. Include: name, job, and presentation topics
  • Group similar topics into panel discussions, and avoid conflicts
  • Plan talks for 45 minutes with questions so people have time to network and get to next talk

  • Pre-schedule talks to fill one room for the entire day
  • The after-party location should be accessible
