Everyone who attends the event is expected to participate all days🙂 This is important not only to preserve the ‘vibe’ (“no talk, all action”) but also to minimize distractions/disruptions for your teams to develop your products. Agenda is very intensive based not only on “working” with your products, but there are a lot of sessions for personal skills as well as team-building activities planned.
