WPPI 2010 Schedule

WPPI 2010 is finally here! We are SO excited to see so many of our friends and make some new onesThis year we’ll be at WPPI for a shorter time – Sunday to Wednesday morning, so I think that we’ve agreed that we just won’t sleep at all!!

We’ve been getting a ton of e-mails and tweets asking us to meet up for Q&A’s with people and unfortunately there’s not enough time to do this with everyone and still have time to attend all the rad talks that we’re super excited about. So, if you’d like to connect with us, here’s where we’ll be during WPPI – we’d LOVE to connect with you! As an additional option, we have availability of ONE more 1:1 mentoring session – e-mail us ASAP if you’re interested (2 Hours, anything you want to talk about, $500).

We didn’t list all the talks we’re planning on going to; while we definitely have our favorites list of the talks we’re hoping to go to, we likely won’t decide which ones until the last minute, so I’m including our top choices at the bottom of each day. These would be sessions that I’d totally recommend people attend

One thing to note: in our experience, the MOST we’ve learned at WPPI hasn’t been in the classes or at the platform talks – it’s been in the hallways on the way to the convention or in line at Starbucks. Don’t miss those opportunities, whatever you do.
