So Srishti, so, like, when you think about attendees... um, planning their time, like, what would your recommendation be or, or how are you thinking about...
But, like, if you were not busy and you were just attending, like, what- how would you think about scheduling your time from this? You know, it's a 12-hour span, so people are gonna be watching a lot.
Uh, I think, uh, uh, my first instinct as an attendee would be definitely just go through the entire agenda list and see what really resonates with me, you know? Sometimes I clock into sessions when I just want to s- experience something new.
So I think that could be one of the reasons that people can, uh, you know, uh, uh, watch our sessions.
But I think others- other reasons could be, you know, I am into this, uh, domain.
I wanna learn something from, uh, people who are actually in the same space, working space, so they can attend the same sessions.
And Outlier is a very different kind of conference, I'd say, because there are so many people...
Uh, and it's not just data analytics and using s- tech stacks as Python, R or, you know, just, like, the very, um, uh, highlighted tools that we say today.
But there are so many other tech stacks that people use to just use visualization as a medium to, you know, showcase their story or data or information.
Anybody who just likes, you know, has an interest in, uh, showing up, uh, you know, using data visualization as a storytelling-
they can join in, use, use the agenda section, uh, on our, uh, website, uh, before you reg- uh, after you register.
Whatever, you know, chimes with you, just wa- clock in those sessions, watch those sessions, learn from those sessions.
Especially I would recommend going into, uh, discussions and networking sessions.
