I’m at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference, aka “ETech”… really interesting. One ‘trick’ that just occurred to me is working well. When confronted with a series of sessions in the same time slot, instead of just going by the title of the talk, a quick google on the speaker is a great way to select which session to go to.
For example, the next time slot has 5 presentations by people I didn’t know: Gil Penchina, Peter Biddle, Richard Sprague, Simon Wardley and Adrian McDermott. (Yeah it’s my failing that I didn’t know you guys, if you find this post ego-surfing 
But anyway, despite some very non-descriptive session titles, thanks to google, I now know what which one I want to go to.
