SCHEDULE YOUR BOF

We have many BOF (Birds of a Feather) spaces set aside for the conference. BOFs may take place during the main conference sessions, as well as before or after the normal conference scheduled sessions - based on room availablity. All of these spaces are equipped with tables and chairs set up for discussion, a projector and a screen. The hotel also has many great gathering spaces for small groups who do not require presentation equipment.

For more information on setting up BOF sessions see BOF -Birds of a Feather meetings
