We’re pleased to be bringing back the “Idea Market” session to PdF this year, as last year it was one of the conference highlights. It’s basically a “flea market” for ideas. Picture a large room with all kinds of interesting people hosting discussions based at tables scattered around the room, and attendees “voting with their feet” and sampling the topics, or hanging around one table for the full session to go deep on one subject.
This year it’ll be happening on Day Two of PdF, from 3:45-5:00pm, in The Allen Room, a spectacular hall overlooking Central Park. And here’s the list of topics and hosts:
