Sessions

Open Database camp is an Un-conference. As with the previous editions, the schedule will be decided on the spot, on Saturday. You can list your intended sessions and your wishes in the Sessions page.

Logistics

You will need an ID for your wifi access. (Sorry, it's a law requirement)^(*). If you want your username and password, you should collect it at the reception as soon as possible.

Customized meetings

There will be room for 1:1 meetings between attendees, if you like to do so. You will find a board with the names of all attendees and their affiliation, and you can easily schedule a meeting with them.

^(*) The law has expired but after having put the fear of the state into every internet provider, the lawmakers have not said how the new regulations should be applied. Regretfully, we have still to live with the old rules.
