Have a camera ready and charged. Charge everything every night. Even if it's at 95% charge, charge it. Pick sessions that challenge you. Pick sessions you know nothing about, but don't do things like "Building High Volume Analytic Databases Using an OLTP Storage Engine" because you'll end up making a HRRRNNNGGG face. Make back up plans for sessions you want to see because invariably they'll all be at the same time or else they'll all be full. Don't make plans. Be flexible.
