Roland Kuhn‘s excellent session on Actors vs Types got an undue amount of negative tweets just because people were not able attend his session. The room was packed to capacity and still many people wanted to get in. The conference organizers got into action quickly and announced another session for the wonderful speaker for all the people who could not attend.

Dean Wampler‘s Spark session was famous as expected. So were the sessions from Adam Gibson and Amanda Laucher.
