Frequently Asked Questions

Your ticket includes

• Two nights (from October 4th to 6th) at Selenia Lodge
• 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners
• Participation to the conference
• Fall and relaxation activities

Tickets can be refunded until August 15. After that date, we may not be able to refund you (because of catering).

Tickets have no name attached to them. You can give yours to someone else if you can't attend.

We do not make any profit from the ticket price. Our sponsors help us keep the price reasonable for a 2-day code retreat in a typical lodge of the Laurentides, during Canadian Fall 🍁

The exact Agenda is made by the participants, on the spot. It's an Open Space, so it's up to you to propose a session, or to join one.

That being said, here are some topics that were discussed during previous editions:

• Prioritize Tech Debt with git metadata
• How to make the community more inclusive
• Remote mob programming
• How to discover what you don't know that you don't know
• Getting started on DDD
• Component design with tests
• How to apply DDD to front-end development?
• Code reviews assisted with AI: good or bad idea?
• … and many more!

Besides regular roundtable discussions, we also had hands-on coding sessions (e.g. refactoring katas), live animated workshops (e.g. Event Storming), and even TDD board game!

Here's what you would need to bring:

• Your laptop
• A notebook and a pen
• Warm clothes (expect temperatures between 0°C and 15°C)
• Cool clothes (if we are lucky, we may experience Indian Summer with temperatures up to 20°C)

The rest will be available on site. If you have any question, ping me (nicolascarlo.espeon@gmail.com).

The Selenia Lodge address is:

It's a 1h45 car drive from Montréal, to the North, near Mont-Tremblant.

We will facilitate car sharing between participants.

As a participant, you have an individual room. Each room includes a Queen bed. Therefore, if you want to go with your loved one, it is totally possible. In fact, you can bring anyone, as long as you share the bed.

They may or may not attend the unconference. If they don't, they can still enjoy the cabin and surroundings for the weekend.

If they attend the lunches and dinner, there is an extra fee to cover for the catering (typically, half the full-ticket price).

Thus, if you want to bring someone, please reach out to us (nicolascarlo.espeon@gmail.com).
