Schedule

Last year we had BookCampers pitch the sessions they wanted to lead and then asked attendees to vote on the sessions they wanted to attend.

 

Nice, formatted PDF schedule:  BC 2010 Small Schedule.pdf

 

This year we're trying something new. In early July we surveyed fans, asking for the title of the sessions that would solve all of their problems. From the survey results, the organizing committee developed session topics and contacted speakers to lead the sessions. We're still finalizing some speakers, but here's the tentative schedule.
