BoF

Birds of a Feather sessions are un-organised and un-affiliated sessions where like-minded individuals can get together and learn or talk about things that interest them.

Rooms

Rooms 5-9 can be used for BoFs during break times and after the last talks each day (except if in use already).

Room 6 is available on Monday after afternoon tea.
