Note:  Each "stakeholder" page has an attendee focused program plan based on key objectives and benefits per audience type. 

There will be much overlap between audiences and multiple value points for all attendees but for the purposes of clarity it was broken down by a sample program for each "audience".

Disclaimer: 

These program plans are not definitive or final, they are simply here to provide scope for the summit.  But more importantly, they are here as a seed for each stakeholder group to plan their ideal conference.  Before being finalized all proposed programs will be voted on by the representative community.
