On the first day of each PlugFest, an afternoon training session will be held via webinar to provide an overview of the south-east Michigan 2014 project, including the document tree, communication security requirements, architecture, and concept of operation.
 
During the next two days of each PlugFest (May 14-15 in Farmington Hills and June 25-26 in Palo Alto), on-site testing will be run. Participants will be able to test their devices' peer-to-peer and broadcast mode communications capabilities.
 
A more detailed agenda will be provided to registered participants leading up to each PlugFest.
