Winter conference a guide
  1. A day by day guide
  2. Get there the night before - so many people are delayed and miss the beginning
  3. All partner conferences have free wifi - however Nicolas will be streaming the community day live so please keep your own bandwidth usage down so it does not interfere.
  4. Tweet lots (what is the hash tag) #ezwinterconf11 or #ezwinterconf
  5. Always always attend the community track - the future of eZ will be driven by it’s community so if a partner / hug a community member
  6. get your seat and power socket early. - most have power at the end. Apart from Barcelona that was in an amazing, but plug free zone
  7. Take time to meet the eZ crew - it will be worth it
  8. Mingle - The conference is more about meeting the other community members than the speeches.
  9. Day 2 is normally a straight partner update sort of day
  10. So keep hydrated and make sure your laptop was fully charged overnight
  11. You will get to interview the eZ Board. It is crucial, you question the board. This is the one time a year we get to do this, so prepare your questions well and do not stop till you get an answer.
