If you have a burning question that you want to ask the luminaries on stage or just want to shake a hand and say hello, some of our speakers and moderators will stop by the Q&A Corner after each session.

When every session ends, debrief with your fellow festivalgoers at the After Show Meetups outside the Mainstage on floor 5. Share your thoughts on the conversations you just heard and make community with attendees.  

Enjoy a refreshment at one of the bars on both floors, and a bite to eat at the food trucks out front. We take a quick break before the keynote session to reset and get ready to end the day with the big show.
