What is a Featured Session? We get that question a lot from our community and it ultimately leads to this question: What types of people do you like to showcase? Let's talk about it. Our aim with Featured Sessions is to highlight those we feel speak best to the trends we see across technology and creativity. The PanelPicker informs this, as does our Advisory Board. Likewise our inherent desire to find out what's next pushes us to find new voices with fresh ideas and concepts that will shape the future.
