Program

In the spirit of Boost, we have tried to encourage sessions that are participatory and/or collaborative in nature, and set up a relaxed schedule so that there's plenty of time for interaction. Sessions will run in the morning and evening, leaving a midday break of two hours so that attendees can get out and enjoy the town and its surroundings, or just to have time to work together in small, informal groups.
