Sessions should be forward-thinking and stimulate discussion and engagement with attendees. Our goal is to provide balanced workshops that meet the variety of interests of conference attendees. We aim to provide specific, action-item-focused sessions that provide attendees with the knowledge they can take back and apply to their own jobs and daily lives. We expect 500+ attendees to participate in DevFest at all levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. 

A successful session/workshop should include:

• a focus on providing educational information for the attendees.
• information attendees can implement/use at home.
• be relevant to the audience.
• allow for questions at the end.
