Hi, what panels or discussions will be offered?
All the sessions and speakers are outline on our website: http://cajaconference.wordpress.com
Look forward to seeing you next Saturday!
Will participants be able to register the day of the event?
We’d prefer it if you pre-register, as you need to place your lunch order and indicate which sessions you will be attending.
Who are the editors that we will be allowed to pitch? I am trying to decide which idea to pitch.
Thanks, Tracy.
