About the session levels
T
he level of presentation is identified by the speaker and is based on expected audience experience and knowledge. 

Unless noted Basic or Advanced, the sessions fall in the
Intermediate level. This level requires a basic knowledge and some experience in the topic area. With a brief emphasis on terms, the focus is on "How does it work?" and the user benefits, and includes detailed examples. 

Basic sessions require little or no previous knowledge of the topic material by attendees and emphasizes the definition of terms and description of key concepts. These sessions take the "who, what, when, where, why and how" approach.

Advanced sessions require a working knowledge and considerable experience in the topic area by attendees and may further require basic or working knowledge in one or more related areas outside the specific topic area. The focus is on "Can I apply this to my organization?", "How do I implement it?", "How do I evaluate it?". Examples and calculations may be fairly complex and only new technical terminology will be specifically defined. Also included in sessions of this level are in-depth evaluations of alternatives.
