Emilio Garcia advises Unbound attendees to check the website immediately and register for breakout sessions early, since they fill up fast. Main-stage sessions are open to all, but if you miss something, the event offers encores of popular sessions on later days.
Emilio, give me a few tips on how to navigate Unbound, especially as someone who's brand new to the event.
Well, I'll say probably getting into the website now because there's no app, but getting to the website, take a look at the agenda, and think in ways of tracks. The big one, the main stage ones are, you know, everybody can go in, but the breakout sessions are the ones that get full very quickly, and those are the ones that you want to, you You know, wrap as soon as possible.
Is there like a rubric for like deciding if you're stuck between 2 different events?
Oh, I think that happens a lot. And they have solved it in a certain way because they have something called encores. Is that the right word?
Encores? Oh!
Yeah. I look for the ones that I couldn't make it because I have a conflict, if there's a rerun of it. So the most popular ones, the breakout that are the most popular, usually let's say if something happens on Tuesday or Wednesday, you can find them again on Thursday or Friday.
