“Software that has to move 200,000 vehicles”
Keynote, main auditorium
Nobody here is speaking about a product they sell. Eighteen track talks run twenty-five minutes each in the four halls; the two keynotes open both mornings in the main auditorium. The shape beside a name is the track, and the track is the hall.
No track, all four shapes. 09:30 on Friday and 09:45 on Saturday, main auditorium.
