And hopefully, you have reserved your hotel room at the Hampton Inn & Suites @ The University of Texas/Capitol or elsewhere close to the UT campus. As we've told you in the past two weeks, the block of rooms we reserved at the Hampton Inn sold out.
The conference will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 3, and conclude at noon Sunday, May 4. Check out this complete agenda.
Here are a few highlights of Hacking News Leadership that will be beneficial to you.
