Schedule

To customize the schedule for your own time zone, add your time zone to the URL. For example, you can see the schedule with local times for Europe/London, America/New York, .

We also have a cool interactive location picker with a world map that you can use although that (like watching the sessions in the conference itself), requires the Flash Player.

Show me where you are and I'll customize the schedule for your own time zone.
(The schedule will now remember your last-selected location.)

* Note: The London hub will take place in Room 1 on the first day of the conference. Please see the London hub schedule for details.
