+## Schedule
+
+### Vismut | [Lukas Orsvärn]
+
+#### 16:00 - 16:20
+
+> Vismut will be a procedural texturing tool for Windows and Linux, allowing for
+> a 100% non-destructive material creation workflow. This means you build
+> textures from scratch using procedural nodes, allowing for changes to any step
+> in the process at any time, including changing the texture's resolution.

+
+### Screen-13 | [John Wells]
+
+#### 16:20 - 16:30
+
+> Screen 13 is an easy-to-use Vulkan rendering engine in the spirit of QBasic.

+
+### Optimizing wgpu with Data Driven Design | [Connor Fitzgerald]
+
+#### 16:30 - 17:00
+
+> A look into how Data Driven Design is the key to the performance increases
+> coming in wgpu 0.13 and what the future holds for solving long standing
+> performance bottlenecks in the codebase. wgpu is the graphics abstraction at
+> the core of many rust projects and ensuring it is as fast as possible will
+> push the boundary of what is possible in safe Rust today.
