What makes a great session?

If you’re passionate about a topic, others will be too! We've seen everything from software development and AI to mental health and even skincare. The best ones spark conversation, invite participation, and keep things engaging.

What's off limits?

• Sales Pitches & Ads: This is a knowledge-sharing event, not a trade show.
• Drones: Best Buy’s campus is a no-fly zone—please keep them at home.
• AI-Generated Proposals: We’re all about human connection. Sessions about AI are welcome, but should be led by you.
• Anything that goes against our Code of Conduct: We’re here to learn and connect in a welcoming, respectful space.

No Spectators, Only Participants

Minnebar thrives on engagement. Whether leading or attending a session, come ready to engage, contribute, learn, and connect!
