Where can I get copies of the presentations?

Many past slide decks from previous years are available on Slideshare.net. After this years conference, we encourage all speakers to make their slide decks available there, as well.

How can I tell you about my experience?

We love feedback! Face-to-face works best. Find any Organizer or Volunteer and let them know what you think. Alternately, you can leave anonymous, confidential feedback on our "Keep It, Stop It, Add It" Kanban board by the Registration desk, or scan the QR Code on your badge to leave session-specific feedback online.
