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".
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.
