The conference is over a Saturday and Sunday, with dinner on the
Saturday night. Most people fly in Friday evening and leave Monday if
they can get the time. It's also possible to fly in Saturday morning
and out Sunday night but it gets pretty rushed.
We'll hopefully be having some sort of programming competition on the
Friday night as well, but no details confirmed at this stage.
Hope to see you there!
