First time attending CYOC in December what should I expect? I’m a married man and bringing my family to take them to Disney world as well so I don’t plan on any late nights. From what I have heard it will likely not be much of substance for me and is afrotechish where it’s a big party.

Wait, bringing your family is actually brilliant! I may do this in the future

Depending on where you are in your career. The panels are great for juniors/mid levels, but for those more senior it’s just a great networking opportunity. If you go to the panels, be selective with which ones you attend

Yeah. If you’re bringing your family it sounds like it is really just a free hotel room. I got nothing of substance from going but the networking was great.
