What
You've heard of camping\cabana\stargazing sessions from past MMS events. For Flamingo Edition, they're called Seaside Sessions. Since the pool is too far off the beaten path from the expo at the Westin, we're going to utilize the two closest rooms to the ocean with great ocean views.
We're also mixing in Microsoft staff with speakers and opening two rooms at the same time to get you more chances to connect with a speaker. These sessions offer you 20 minutes with MMS speakers where you can ask anything you like in privacy. You can also just use this time to meet with your favorite speaker.
Where
Bonnet I and Bonnet II rooms can be seen on this map - basically walk away from the big ballrooms towards the ocean. As you sit with the speakers for 20 minutes, try not to become too distracted with the palm trees and ocean out the window!
Each room will show in sched starting Sunday and you can book them by speaking to Wally.
These sessions will run at the same time as other sessions. Feel free to leave your current session for 20 minutes and pop back in when done; speakers won't be offended by your walking out. They know to expect it.
How
Seaside Sessions cannot be booked in sched.com directly!
You can find speakers in sched starting Sunday of the event. If you're not sure which speaker to talk to, ask Wally.
Find Wally to book your session. You are likely to spot him at the registration desk or by the Seaside Session rooms.
Wally will take walk-ups on a case-by-case basis throughout the week. Just ask if anything is currently open.
Limit: 1 session per attendee max per day (but again, if a tent is open when you walk-up, Wally can let you in).
