Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Sessions - 2012
For those of you attending the BYOD sessions, please click HERE to complete the BYOD Evaluation
Bring your own device to these sessions. The sessions are FREE, but you must register to attend (a ticket will be required). Each session is limited to 40 attendees. If pre-registered for a BYOD, be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes early or those waiting will be allowed to fill empty seats. Those pre-registered and those lining up for possible open seats should check the conference program for a list of things that are needed for each BYOD session.
BYOD sessions are full. However, if you are interested in one and have not pre-registered, go to the Wingtip Room at least 15-20 minutes prior to the start time and get in line. If those registered do not arrive by 10 minutes prior to the BYOD session, then those in line will be allowed to enter (up to the maximum of 40 per session).
