The convention is taking place in an IT suite, and several laptops will be available although we do strongly suggest bringing your own.


Many other talks and demonstrations are given, difficulty of the subjects we talk about vary from beginner to advanced. We aim to make all the talks/demonstrations easy to understand and follow.
