The emphasis this year is a little different than in the past. The last session largely revolved around the blogging community in Wisconsin. Although there will certainly be some of that this year, our emphasis is a little broader. We'd like to have organizing sessions around various progressive topics in the state, and to help work with people on how they can make their voices heard more effectively. However, in the end, the conference sessions will be whatever people propose, and which are popular. So - propose a session if you'd like to see something happen that is not in there. It does not have to be a session you are volunteering to lead - just a session you would like to see happen.
The schedule is still being worked on. We are still asking for session proposals, and will continue to accept them until there is no room left in the schedule. A final session schedule will be emailed to you all shortly before the conference takes place.
Yes, there will be a light continental breakfast with coffee 30 minutes before the conference starts, and there will be a catered lunch. Both are included in the registration price. You will be asked for food preferences when you register.
