To better accommodate the global community, the event start and end timing of the scheduled programming will be expanded each day and offering specific moments of live networking and togetherness for regional communities throughout the event. Both for the sake of DrupalCon's speakers and staff, this won't be a 24/7 event, but because much of the content will be available to ticket-holders on demand, you'll have the freedom to participate at the time you choose.
