We'll be announcing this at the keynote as well, but this year's summit will have a couple of cool "features" during mealtimes. During Breakfast & Lunch on days one and two, look for tables with signs that say "Networking Zone" and "Ask an Expert". The former is designed for folks looking for work to connect with folks looking to hire. The latter will always be staffed with at least 1 Adobe engineer and/or other employee, plus hopefully at least one community expert, to help folks with questions about technical issues they are encountering with CF. Please keep in mind, these and engineers, not sales/licensing folks, so if you have questions about licenses, EULAs, etc. find me and I will connect you with the appropriate personnel to chat with regarding that. We are looking for volunteers from the community to sit at these tables during meals who would be willing to help folks out with answers to their nagging CF tech problems (though as I said, we'll also have engineers there as well.)

Me too. I'm fortunate I get my talk out of the way Monday morning right after the keynote, so I can relax the rest of the conference! 🙏

@Mark Takata (Adobe) Regarding the Networking Zone table, if a company (or an individual) is hiring, would they need to pre-register?
m
Monte, at this point, this is just "come as you are" with available space. If we need to grow it to multiple tables we'll do that. We're sort of letting it be a community driven thing, as there's legal considerations if we "officially" support a hiring event type situation. This is more of a guided seating thing lol.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) I'm open to sitting at a table and helping to answer questions.

not sure if I qualify as a "community expert" but I've been doing this for nearly 24 years now so I can at least answer the easy questions 😛

Thanks all, keep an eye out for the table. We've got enough folks signed up now that I know at minimum we'll have SOME folks there, but the more the merrier. At this rate I might expand to a 2nd table. 🙂

There had better be signage and neon lights. It is Vegas after all

And with a big slot machine next to the table, too!

Monte, its Vegas. There's slot machines EVERYWHERE lol

Slot machine with a twist though...the jackpot would be a CF Enterprise license

If the coin slot was a pocket, I would totally buy that shirt.... I'm sure it would pay for itself in no time if you wore that to vegas

Coin-op slots are gone the way of the Dodo, Adobe Flash and the Volkswagen Beetle though man.
s
so make a new one with a venmo QR code (no one saw that) (patent pending)
wait... let me patent that idea real quick
m
hahaha
I'm sure it would be card tap or apple pay or whatever lol
d
You all putting way too much thought into this.
🤣 1
s
lol... I do that sometimes
m
Not way too much thought at all. If it ain't broken, it does not have enough features yet. Let's see what else we can do! lol
Does anyone happen to know where those "Ask an expert" and "Networking zone" tables are? Are they at the breakfast area?
c
We added some gaffer's tape to the signs this morning so they stand up like a tent on the table and are more visible. Please look for them again at lunch today.
