<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi all,</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Just thinking a bit more about agenda timings (specifically I was looking at how much speaking time we might need at local venues). I presume we need to have consistent local session timings across all venues, so that streaming etc is in synch.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Personally I feel that sessions that are around an hour and a half long with breaks in between works about right, probably with a "proper" coffee / networking break in the morning, 45 min lunch (an hour always seems a bit more than necessary), and a short 15 min comfort / leg stretch / breather in the afternoon. So, how about this below. Any thoughts? We'd have to keep local session 3 to tight timing to allow for reconvening for the keynote and tech swap over, unless those two sessions were swapped? In total that would give 180 mins of local sessions (6 x 30 min talks, or equivalent).<br><div><br></div><div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" dir="ltr" border="1"
