Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions are often confusing to new attendees. These informal, user-generated gatherings bring like-minded individuals together in adhoc sessions. Topics are suggested and posted on a board during the conference to provide areas for specialized discussions and collaborations to flourish.
These smaller participant-driven sessions are vital to filling in the gaps left by the broader pre-planned sessions. These sessions often produce some of the best one-on-one connections and discussions in the conference. Everyone is welcome to attend these and try out different topics.
