Conference Activities
Schedule a BoF! Talk to an expert! Present new work! Don't miss these special activities, designed to maximize your time at LISA.

Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions (BoFS)
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings
Do you have a topic that you'd like to discuss with others? Our Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions may be perfect for you. BoFs are very interactive and informal gatherings for attendees interested in a particular topic. Schedule your BoF in advance by sending email to conference@usenix.org or by telephoning the USENIX Conference Office at 714.588.8649. BoFs may also be scheduled on-site at the registration desk.

The Guru-Is-In
Have a question that's been bothering you? Try asking a USENIX guru!

Experts from the USENIX community will be available to spark controversy and answer questions. These are informal discussions among participants, one more way at the conference to transmit information. Please contact Guru coordinator Lee Damon at nomad@qualcomm.com if you would like to volunteer your expertise.


Work-In-Progress Reports (WIPs)
Short, pithy, and fun. Work-In-Progress Reports introduce interesting new or ongoing work. If you have work you would like to share or a cool idea that is not quite ready to be published, a WIP is for you! We are particularly interested in presenting student work.

To reserve your presentation slot, contact the WIPs coordinators via email to lisawips@usenix.org. A list of topics is announced on-site.
