WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE TENWEST?
The heart of TENWEST is the three-day conference Wednesday-Friday, March 25-27. Most TENWESTers attend the conference and use that as the anchor for planning their fest. But, many attend the extra events and enjoy their own TENWEST experience.
NOTE: Many of the Fest experiences will sell out because of limited capacity. Buying an Insiders Pass guarantees your spot, while priority for some events will be given to conference attendees.
