Main Stage

Producer: David Hussman
Assistant: Jutta Eckstein

The Main Stage has something for everyone. With three concurrently running sub-stages, the main stage will provide introductory sessions, gurus in our community, thought provoking talks, several spicy panels, and a few interesting performances. We hope the main stage sessions spark those valuable hallway conversations which are the heart and soul of all good conferences. We hope you dig the selections.
