Andrew - how come you don’t include product management or product marketing as a role? I’ve wondered this for a while. PMs and PMMs are the articulators of the value prop and the champions for the user. Design delivers that value, engineering enables it, but PM makes sure that everyone’s working toward the same goal. If you hadn’t guessed I’m a PM type.

When will we know where the event will take place? Also, will there be computers there for us to use or do we have to bring our own?

Deb- We include it in the ticket types now, just not in this copy (my mistake)!
