## **What to expect at each session**

Every DevConnect session follows the same format: a live presentation from the ODA engineers behind the product, followed by Q&amp;A. After the session, attendees can book a personal 30-minute call with the team to go deeper on anything specific to their project or use case.

Sessions are free. No registration fee, no paywall on the recording.
