The lecture sessions at Intel are the backbone of the technical sessions. These are the times to hear from Intel and industry engineers on the latest technologies. There will be over 110 lecture sessions. Often these include demonstrations of technologies that can only be seen in these sessions.
Panels are your chance to hear technology discussed, debated, and explored by some of the top technology minds in the industry. Often there are opportunities for you to ask the panelists questions.
The technology labs at IDF are your opportunity to get hands–on experience and deep technical information on a number of critical technology topics. Experts will be on hand to teach and lead you through the labs.
Every one of the approximately 170 different technical sessions at IDF is filled with insights, information, and ideas that help you solve challenges and be even more productive. Technical sessions at IDF include lecture sessions, panels, Q&A, labs, and all the special events—Technology Insights, Industry Insights, and Intel Fellows: Live and Uncensored! The information presented is current, relevant, and actionable. Plus, all technical sessions are led by top Intel and industry experts.

Experience levels
Intel Developer Forum technical sessions are divided into three knowledge levels, so you get exactly the detail you want:
Introductory
Geared toward a broad technical audience. Includes overviews, introductions to new initiatives, and technology roadmaps.
Intermediate
Geared toward an audience that is somewhat familiar with the session topic. This level may include detailed examples and diagrams, as well as design and layout examples.
Advanced
Geared toward an audience that is very familiar with the session topic. This level may include information such as code samples and specific design considerations.
Understanding the session ID
Every technical session has a session ID assigned to it. The session ID consists of a four-letter abbreviation and some sequential numbers.
The first three letters identify the track that the session is in. For example, MEMS001 is a session in the Memory Applications and Solutions track.
The fourth letter in the session ID indicates the type of technical session—lecture session (S), panel (P), lab (L), or Q&A (Q).
The sequential numbers indentify the individual technical sessions. Some sessions are linked to more than one track. Use the track tab in the content catalog to view all sessions linked to a track.
