There are two tracks each day of the conference, general session and limited seating breakout sessions. Because seating for the breakout sessions is limited, seating we will be assigned on a first come/first served basis. To reserve seating you will need to indicate on the registration form which sessions you would like to attend. We will notify you to confirm your reservation so you can plan ahead and get the most out of your experience. We suggest opening the agenda in another tab or window to see which general sessions are scheduled along side the breakout sessions.
Additionally, on the first day of the conference (Tuesday, May 27) we will be having in-depth tutorials on Moab Cluster Suite®, Moab Grid Suite® and TORQUE for administrators and users new to these products. The pricing for this ($275 for the entire day) is separate from the regular conference fee and you will need to indicate on the registration form if you would like to attend this day. The same training you will receive is normally $2,500 on-site, so be sure to take advantage of this unique opportunity!
