// Section 02 — Format
New
agenda.
New rules.
One of the biggest developments this edition is the reformatted agenda. Rather than curating topics around session types like panels and fireside chats, we did the opposite. Each new format is designed to present a focused dialogue that skips the fluff and benefits from every minute of stage time.
