Hear them in person
Talks get recorded. The conversation in the corridor afterwards does not. A ticket gets you the main day on Sunday, lunch on both days, and a Contributor Day seat on Saturday if you sign up for one.
Each speaker’s page has their session. The full schedule goes up later in October.
