APC11 is a convergence, so we want everyone involved. Not having your name and photo in this list does not prevent you fully participating. On a formal level you can offer to share/facilitate/make happen/request a session on a topic of interest to you. There will be time for "Open Space" sessions daily between lunch and dinner. We have lots of break out spaces.
