The Wiki is Not Playing Nice
If you try to edit this and you get an error, just go back and try it again and it will probably work. The system seems to be having some hiccups (as they say), but the problem is thankfully *not* persistent. I know it's the digital equivalent of kicking something to jumpstart it, but it does seem to work, so please don't get discouraged.
This is just a rough sketch for now, please do not plan on these times just yet!! Final Scheduling will take place the week before the event. Can't pick a time? Just post your session topic (and name) in text below.
