Schedule FAQ

How is the schedule set up?

The schedule is a combination of us all together in the "big room", breakouts with the integrated or cross-functional teams you work with, breakouts with your functional team (eg Brand, Sumo etc) and open time. The planning group tried to meet your request to have lots of time with your functional teams and time for you to talk about what matters most to you in the Open Sessions and Open Time. Also, if you don't work on an Integrated team, for some of us we'll be asked to join one to see what we can do together.

How will I know where stuff is happening?

Many of the sessions listed in the Schedule are linked to a G-doc where you can see descriptions of sessions, see what's going on, sign up to lead stuff, participated, shape and lead social stuff or see where your or other groups are meeting.

I'd like to own something, what do I do?

click the hot links in the schedule and find something to lead. Dinners are open for "ownership" so if anyone wants to shape an experience for dinners that help us grow or know each other in a new way, please sign up!
