Hello UYDers,
Here's some of the programs I think I or my family might be interested in. We won't do all of them (some conflict and I'm not sure how long my 7 or 10 years old girls will last). My family will be going with me on Sunday for sure, but I've printed out the rest of the schedule and plan to see which ones look appealing to them. I'm sure there will be a day or two I go by myself.
Those of you who have gone before, how early do I need to get to events before they run out of seats/fire marshal closes the doors? Have you seen any of these break out sessions before. Which ones do you recommend out of these I've chosen.
Any other feedback on these is appreciated:
