We anticipate having a variety of session formats, including lightning talks (5 minutes), individual presentations, panel discussions, and longer workshops, training, or troubleshooting sessions. Sessions will be 25 or 50 minutes, which includes time for questions.

All sessions will be streamed and/or recorded.
