Firstly, we should note that sessions fill up quickly, so start booking as soon as possible! Secondly, it is worth looking around carefully because some of the talks are held at nearby venues rather than at the convention centre itself and you will need to allow yourself a few minutes to walk there.
Finally, make sure you don’t attend sessions too close together. It is advisable to stay until the end of each session to ask or listen to questions and answers.
