According to the web site, you can purchase tickets at the door as well. I would pre-purchase, but we are arriving on the bus that day and I want to make sure we get there in time...

Do spaces run out for the conferences?

This was probably the most important two hours for me in FIRST. :) Thanks for organizing this unique discussion.

Re: PANEL: Decision Making & Compromise During a Design Process
 

During the Panel, there was a discussion of the importance of forming a team Strategy. What i found particularly interesting was that many of the robots at the panel had vastly different strategies. There was quite a bit of discussion on this with most agreeing that the important part of the Strategy phase was to find a strategy that "fits" the game, your team values, and your team capabilities/resources.

Here is an article that parallels this discussion that took place. It is an interview in:

Reflections – Society of Organizational Learning

Tribal Leadership, October 2009
From the Society of Organization Learning, published at MIT, an interview with Dave Logan and John King written by George Hall.

“People in our study who were exceptional tribal leaders described a sudden, compelling, and often personal awareness that they had been manipulating people and didn’t want to do that anymore.”

It gives a pretty good overview of the book and highlights a chapter on "strategy" development that echoes many of the comments of the panelists. (or at least my interpretation of their comments with regards to strategy).
