TL;DR;

- Business summit

- Main Track

- Poster session

- Vendor Expo Hall

- Tutorials and Training

- Meet the experts.

We want _your_ input and _your_ help for the Community Sprint Day. If you have Jupyter related project you want to work on during sprints, or like to mentor people for whom it will be their first contributions please reach out to us. It is of course not limited to coding. It can be design, testing, documentation, recording tutorial videos on youtube... etc. 

There was some comment last year that "Sprint" had the connotation of tireless coding, and the need to already be an expert in the Jupyter community. We'll try to progressively introduce the term "Open Studio" to convey that any skill at any level is welcome and we want to foster community engagement.  Special thanks to Bloomberg and the folks there who share our vision and will be sponsoring this Saturday. 

We'll also have a UX testing of JupyterLab on Saturday, with your help we'd like to make you try variation on the JupyterLab UI and ask you questions to make your workflow easier. We will be looking both for new user – to see how the interface is friendly for a first time experience, and advance user who have deep knowledge and Jupyter customisation.

If you have any questions, concern, or have spotted typos, feel free to contact us. 

Thanks,
