Speakers may not stay for the full allotted time if they can get through the line. We urge you to report to the Meet & Greet at the beginning of the time period indicated.
Meet & Greet lines may be cut off early by staff if the queue line reaches the maximum number of attendees that a speaker can greet within an hour. This is to prevent attendees from having to wait in line and miss other sessions if there is not a reasonable chance that they'll make it to the speaker before the end of the allotted time.
