Q: How can I contribute without actually giving a presentation?

A: Blog, take photos and videos and upload them, involve yourself in discussions, have fun.

 

Q: Lunch and Dinner are sponsored and at the venue, but will coffee/tea/snacks be available for purchase at the premises throughout the day? Or will I have to leave the premises for a quick, non-lunch/dinner bite?

A: Nope. Stuff will be provided. No worries. Maybe free.. or at a cost per item.
