Programme
The shape of the day looked like this:
Time | Activity |
---|---|
0800-0900 | Registration (including coffee) |
0900-0915 | Intro |
0915-1215 | Rants (including breaks) |
1215-1315 | Lunch |
1315-1715 | Rants (including breaks) |
1715-1730 | Outro |
1730-1830 | Food and Drinks |
1830-2100 | Open Space / Lightning InstaRants |
The organised rants were done in an arbitary order from the confirmed list of participants (below) who submitted proposals. From the 100s of proposals we got, we tried to find common themes and people who were able to commit to the rant at the conference.
You’ll notice there is an Open Space / Lightning InstaRant time slot, where attendees gave their own rants. Details of how this worked were given on the day.
Confirmed ranters/rants, in no particular order :
