Code of Conduct

You can find the code of conduct for BlinkOn here: bit.ly/blinkon-code-of-conduct

Logistics

Screen ratio and presenting information for session facilitators

The screen ratio is 16:9 in the Main Tech Talk.
In the Main Tech Talk, there will be a dedicated laptop for presenting, which has to be used. Please share your presentations before your talk. If you require special software, please let us know!

Recording

We’re planning to record certain sessions/talks. We’ll share the videos after the conference.

Cost

Admission is free and some meals will be catered. Out-of-town attendees need to pay for their own flights and hotels.

How to facilitate a BlinkOn session

Please identify goals for these sessions in advance to help focus conversation. Consider posing questions to seed discussion.
For example, at BlinkOn 1, Eric Seidel and Adam Barth put together architecture diagram slides, and then a list of things which they think are "wrong" with the current architecture (aka where we want it to move to), and then opened it for discussion.

Security

Google security will be on-site to help with any questions. Please wear your conference badge at all times, as that is your access into the event center.
