I have touched on this before, but let me lay it out here.
Problem: Tech conferences are geat opportunities to network, but formal sessions get in the way of hallway conversation.
The gut response to this would be to get rid of the sessions and just allow people the venue to have informal discussions. But that doesn't work well either. The sessions do a good job of "priming the pump" so to speak, and introduing folks and topics.
So here is my proposed solution in the form of a conference agenda:
So that is my proposal. Build in at least half of the time of the conference for people do self aggregate and network and discuss.
