Session Highlights:
There is not a single thing here I will be missing. Marco Tempest is a legend, as is Max Maven. Their talks will be priceless. Finn Jon should be pretty epic. Helder has grow a lot in my opinion in recent times, so I look forward to his presentation. Richard Wiseman is one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter, and his lecture will not disappoint. One of the performances I have been looking forward to the most for this whole conference will be tomorrow when Cyril takes his turn. Last, but not least, De’Vo giving a talk at the EMC ought to be intriguing.
