As the MAJOR AUPC event is a few days ahead of us, my personal level of anticipation is going through the roof! I’m planning to spend the coming couple of days preparing myself psychologically, to say the least. Well to tell you the truth I was somehow thrown off by the stuffed program, I would prefer less keynote speakers with 60-90 minutes each than 40, and a fairly generous Q&A sessions afterwards.
