With over 750 breakout sessions it's hard to know which ones to attend.

In the breakout computer labs there will be several Hands-On Training  sessions that will allow you to go through exercises on specific topics with experts in the room to answer any questions. There will also be an area in the DevZone to do mini-workshops with a format similar to Hands-On Training. Both require you to sign up for a spot in advance in Agenda Builder.

In Moscone West on the 2nd floor, the DevZone will be full of stations to walk through workbooks, play with different products, and talk with experts about what these different technologies are and how to leverage them.

In the campground there is a walkup consultation area called "Ask an Expert" where platform experts will be able to help you with specific questions about building applications within your org.
