Preliminary schedule & speakers


For your planning purposes, programs are timed in the Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) zone. We will start Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m. PDT and run into the early afternoon in that time zone.

You'll need to calculate the program timing in your zone. For example, 9 a.m. PDT is noon Eastern Daylight Time, so the convention programs will run into the early evening for participants there.

Here's a time zone converter.

11:30 a.m. PDT - ? "Zoom rooms" | small group chats

The convention team is considering how we can facilitate small group chats so that participants can talk with each other, replicating what would normally be the hallway chats, the dinner conversations and coffee break exchanges. Stay tuned!
