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 1000+ attendees from across the country to participate in DevFest.

A successful session or workshop should include the following:

• A focus on providing educational information for the attendees.
• Information attendees can implement or use at home
• Be relevant to the audience.
• Allow for questions at the end.
