What this site does
Three things, before and during
Plan the fork in the road
Both breakout blocks run four rooms at once. Pick one per block and this site remembers it, shows how many colleagues chose the same room, and exports your personal run of show to your calendar.
Open the agendaAsk before the mic opens
Post a question against any session and upvote the ones you want answered. Presenters see the ranked list ahead of time.
Question boardCertificate paperwork
The attendance certificate follows the conference evaluation. The link and QR code live in one place so nobody has to dig through email.
