Rebecca,
There will be some hands on sessions and some teaching sessions. Are you interested in a specific talk or workshop? If so, I can find out for sure whether or not it is hands on. My workshop, “How to be a freelancer” will be hands on and you can see a description if you click on the workshop title. All day saturday we’ll have a “WordPress Help Desk” where anyone can bring their laptops and ask questions to the experts. If you have any other questions, ask away!

So many topics to choose from! Will we get access to slides for all the presentations or only those we attend and do we need to sign up for the various tracks/sessions ahead of time?
You don’t have to sign up ahead of time for a presentation. It’s up to the presenter to share slides, but many put them on slideshare the same day. We’re also recording the presentations for publishing at a later date. So if you miss one, you can watch it later – though not as live and awesome : )
Is this a “hands-on” working conference or teaching only…..??
