@JoshuaB what's your "you must not miss this" session (clearly mine yeah?) 

But more seriously, what is the best way to network during the event? This is my 6th Inspire, but I often find myself with such a packed schedule it's hard to make time to just meet new people.

Hey Josh,
Awesome idea doing an AMA, I have a few questions!

1. What are your personal 'must-see' sessions this year?

2. What goes into planning a keynote/session? Any interesting behind the scenes stories you can share?

3. How many golf balls do you think could fit inside a school bus? (This ones important, if you only answer one, make it this one please). 

[JoshuaB]

@DataNath I think you should wear a big shirt that says "I'm a big deal, talk to me!" ..... 😂

I like hanging out in the Product Showcase areas because then you get around folks who are interested in talking topics around product. Also sit next to people you don't know during breaks. Ask "Any sessions you've liked so far?" or "What did you think about the Keynote?"

[JoshuaB]

@Carlithian Of course yours! Must see! You know we love a good obscura with @SteveA I am really interested in the GenAI talks. One in particular will be with Luke Cornetta.

@TheOC 

1. Unlocking the Power of Iterative Macros 😁

2. N/A

3. Depends on the size of the bus ...and golf balls, but I'd say minimum 2

Glad to be coming back after missing last year!!

[JoshuaB]

@TheOC Great questions! 

1. I have said I really want to see the GenAI talks but also there's some amazing customer talks I'm excited to see

2. Planning a keynote talk is a whole different animal/level. There is just much less appetite for failure and or mistakes where a talk/session is much more relaxed. Most of our keynote sessions have been in the works for months already! We plan and practice a lot until showtime! Many times there is a big difference between practicing in your living room and being onstage!

3. Well consider the school bus' in the UK are different that US. The question to you is what type of school bus? Year? Model? Details matter @TheOC 

[JoshuaB]

@mbarone Sure will be great to see you brother!
