This year, we have added faceted search and personal scheduling to the website. With faceted search, you can view sessions based on criteria such as Track, Speaker, Speaker Company, and/or Day of Presentation. The Scheduler is a personal navigation and calendar generation tool that allows you to easily pick and choose the presentations you’re interested in and save this information directly into your calendar. |
