Full  Agenda  - KUFICON 2026

The Agenda page is a more granular view than the Schedule page. Where the Schedule page shows day-level overviews, the Agenda page shows session-by-session timing. Suggested layout: a tab or toggle at the top to switch between Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3. Each day shows a vertical timeline with time slots on the left and session details on the right.
