Night Shoots and Activities
Aside from the Star Party on Friday, most evening activities are impromptu, organized by whoever wants to—fellow attendees, speakers, sponsor representatives, etc. A lot goes on after dark, and everyone tends to get involved.
While we are happy to help people connect, we also suggest the conference Facebook group as an ideal place to communicate and plan with your fellow attendees.
