While all of the above speakers are confirmed, you never know what can happen in life. Specific workshop topics and speakers could change. This caveat applies to any event of this kind. Most events don't make this sort of disclosure, but the team here at TECHmunch bends over backwards to be open and honest. Nuff' said.
