Breakout Sessions will be organized into two “tracks” geared towards guys in the field and guys in the back office. The intention is to eek out as much useful information for the different scenarios that face each kind of crew, and to make the sessions as “intimate” and interactive as possible. Each topic will run on both days, two at a time, for 50 minutes each, in such a way that nobody will miss one.
