Breakouts should have started 10 minutes ago. The keynote continues.

Jokes on you... that is the breakout.

Honestly doesn't look like there are enough people for a breakout.

That's why MangoCon doesn't do them. Breakouts don't make sense unless you are enormous and can have totally different tracks like tech vs. marketing.

Basically telling customers how they can spend more money on add-on vendors.

NerdyDad

NOW the keynote is over...an hour late.

That's a significant run over. How will the breakouts work now?

I think I can afford to skip a few meals.

NerdyDad

Literally abandoned warehouse
