No. Very far from it in fact. We use a new platform that allows multiple sessions and expo booths to run at the same time. You can wander between the booths and drop in to a live discussion or game as you feel fit.
While we will have specific times for some events you don't have to go to those and can wander at will.
The whole idea is to have the serendipity of a real-world festival. You can come across someone and decide to visit a booth together or just spend some time chatting.
