Preliminary Schedule:
It helps to know what your weekend looks like. The basic schedule for the event is as follows. We are organizing guest speakers and judges to improve your experience, so this schedule is likely to change. The event combines informative sessions with social opportunities and time to just kick back and let those ideas marinate. We will also have plenty of caffeine available and with sponsors like J!NX, you're also likely to look good while you're at our jam.
