"Welcome"
summary
Conference logistics and numbers: over a thousand attendees and a second room opened because attendance exceeds the first two years combined. Sponsors include Keynote, Yahoo, Google, Compuware and Strange Loop. Practical notes: lunch on the patio and upstairs with tight schedules, exhibit hall in ballrooms E and F, passport booth crawl at noon and an O’Reilly author signing around 6:30. Website adds personal schedules and messaging, hashtag velocity com, t‑shirt vouchers at the afternoon break, and plenary Q&A happens only in afternoon sessions.
