The attendance is capped at 140 (due to the size of the room). This makes for an intimate feeling, and the chance for everyone to interact with the speakers and each other.

There was wide participation in the Park Bench. The discussion was nicely facilitated by Zi Makki for the third year in a row. This has become almost a tradition of the event, he does such a fine job.

The event was hosted by Skills Matter
