Meet up sessions on Level 1

No bag or water bottle

Food is on the show floor

Soft seating areas

Bistro tables

 

How does signing up for meetup lounges work? No need to sign up - add to agenda, show up, it is informal, topic assigned, leader assigned.  No presentations

 

Will there also be a selection of recorded sessions out in the open for everyone (not only attendees) to watch? Like in previous years? Yes

 

Q: How similar will the experience be in EMEA compared to LV as described?

A: there are bistro tables in the meal areas where you will have the opportunity to stay, unwind and have lunch meetings. There areas are expected to be available even beyond the meal time hours.

 

There are also multiple relax / recharge areas scattered about on the show floor.

Hoodies in BCN as well (slightly different, but still solid black with TechEd logo).

Comments/Questions:
Great suggestion on the power strip - it's also a great way to make friends when you allow others to share the outlets!

For me, critical has been bringing a USB charging battery, a big one, because if you tweet, etc, a lot during the day, your phone loses battery much faster.

In the past sessions had 3 levels (coded by session id's, 100s, 200s and 300s). This year we have 4 levels. How do these relate to prev year's levels?
