SESSION: 199 iOS Birds of a Feather Session

Thursday 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Tony Vincent, Salon 6 Thursday 3:00 - 4:00 PM Capacity: 400

Sometimes it's nice not to have a pre-planned agenda! Birds of a Feather sessions are loose gatherings of like-minded people who wish to freely discuss topics of importance to them. Sometimes a guess speaker is showcased to kick start the conversations, and other times there may be an open mic with only a minimal opening statement.
