Here’s my current PAX Dev and PAX West panel schedule. Will be updated with panelist and links once they go up on the PAX Site. Who can I designate to make sure I am fed and watered that Saturday? INDG will also be in the Diversity Lounge on the 6th floor.

I might also be doing a quick run through Anaheim on the way to Seattle for a panel before all this. That’s still in the air though.
