" If you want to avoid time zone confusion, you can switch the conference schedule to your local time on the program page. "

" Sponsor sessions are free, not sales pitches, and do not overlap with the main program so anyone can attend. "

" Saying no with intentionality and clear guidelines creates clarity and focus. "

" We could not have this conference without you all — the curation team relies heavily on audience participation. "
