Multiple Workshops / Extended Sessions to be Featured in 2019

Important items to keep in mind regarding extended sessions:

• Separate registration is required for three (3) workshops – Open Distro for Elasticsearch – Hack Day – hosted by Amazon, MongoDB extended training, and Vue Vixens Workshop – Vuex.
• For the remainder, seating is available on first-come, first-served basis.
• If you attend an extended session/workshop, please plan to attend for the entire duration of the session. You might be keeping others from attending (if you arrive early and get a seat), so please keep this in mind.
• Note the majority of sessions will take place in the Marriott meeting space, which adjoins the Raleigh Convention Center. Signage will be posted around the Convention Center and Marriott clearly marking/directing where sessions will take place. In addition, ATO volunteers will be positioned and directing attendees where they need to go.
