Hey there. I think we're on a roll now with day two of the DevOps Enterprise Summit. All right. It's almost time for the break, so I want to share some things to know before you go.

The breakout talks will start after the break at 10:45 AM Central Time. We have networking time and networking opportunities starting at 1:50 PM Central Time with Birds of a Feather. Remember, the Birds of a Feather sessions will be in the Birds of a Feather room in Gather, so head there if you want to participate.

We also have a couple of Ask Me Anything sessions with IT Revolution authors. Visit our sponsors in the Solutions Hub and check out the demos and play the games for fun and prizes. And be back here for more plenary talks starting at 3:05 PM Central Time.

We have a special Birds of a Feather session today. It's on the topic of individual contributors. We heard from Rosalind Radcliffe yesterday, and you might have attended Leslie Chapman's session today. Rosalind is a Technical Fellow at IBM, and Leslie is a Distinguished Engineer at Comcast, a couple of phenomenal individual contributors making a huge impact in their respective organizations. The two of them are hosting the session.

If you are an individual contributor, work with individual contributors, or are interested in creating a meaningful individual contributor career track in your organization, then join the session during the networking time in the Birds of a Feather room in Gather. It will be in the space in the top right corner of that room.

Our first Ask Me Anything session today is with Mark Schwartz, the author of many books, with his latest being The Delicate Art of Bureaucracy. Find out what the monkey, the razor, and the sumo wrestler have to do with bureaucracy. That AMA is happening at 11:45 AM Central Time. Thanks to Synopsys for sponsoring that.

Our second AMA is at 1:50 PM Central Time. It's with some of the authors of Investments Unlimited, a novel about DevOps, security, audit, compliance, and thriving in the digital age. What's not to love about that title? And if you're interested in any of it, check out the AMA. Thanks to IT Revolution for sponsoring that.

During the breaks, explore the virtual hallway track for the summit in Gather to connect with sponsors, speakers, and your fellow travelers. And remember, the Dockside Bar is always open.

Now, that's it for now. There's a lot to learn out there. Go make the most of the opportunity.
