Notes:

We are still working on the content. The goal is to enable and encourage audience participation. The unconference groups can be moderated by volunteers or sponsor representatives.

If you are giving a Lightning Talk you will need to supply the slides to the organizers 72 hours prior to the event (i.e. Mon March 16th).

Lightning Talks can be held by sponsors but we need a background on the speaker: needs to be visionary/evangelist NOT a sales/marketing speaker
