Thanks to Tom Yarrish, we have a detailed ICS file of the conference schedule.

McCormick Student Village (MSV) is the dorm complex where many people are staying and where some get-togethers like the ParrotHackathon might happen. The main conference sessions are in Hermann Hall (Hermann Union Building).

Master Class Locations

Catalyst - Engineering 1 room E1-124

Intermediate Perl - same room E1-034

Test Automation - Wishnick Hall Room WH-116

System Administration - Siegel Hall room 202 (north end of 2nd floor)

LightningTalks

It would be hard to add a talk now as they are over.

Hackathon

Saturday and Sunday before, June 14-15 (ParrotHackathon)
Thursday and Friday after, June 19-20 (Hackathon)

BOF schedule

BOF stands for "Birds Of a Feather". These are smaller, less formal, self-organized meetings, some technical, some food/fun related. Set them up on the BOF schedule.
