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.
