Which Key Topic Sessions Will You Attend?

Picking where to spend your time at ROKLive 2022 might feel a little different than picking a flavor at Baskin-Robbins, but either decision begins by getting informed of your options. And since ROKLive takes place in sunny Orlando in mid-June, there’s an argument to be made that ROKLive and ice cream go together like vanilla and chocolate chip (or chunk).
