Academic and other sessions should have the same length. But I'd vote<br>
for leaving it as 25+5. In reality (at least this is how it was in 2009)<br>
it was more like 20+5+5(one of):<br>
- I needed to connect my laptop<br>
- many_questions<br>
- time to move to another session<br>

+1 to all points<br>
<br>
The half hour per presentation makes a lot of sense due to all these reasons. Each year there has been a lot of moving around between sessions so that it always starts just a few minutes late and leaving folks "end" sessions just a few minutes early to get late to the next presentation. My guess is that shortening it to 15+5 will not work at all and 20+5 gives us strange start and end times. And last but not least we should not outweigh quality with quantity. How many talks can a an attendee realistically digest in a day?<br>

I totally agree with Arnulf and Volker. I think that 25+5 is the best
option. And as Arnulf says, we should take care about the quality
because this is more important than quantity. <br><font color="#888888">

My suggestion was for shortening the talks for all sessions, not just academic, and as other have suggested,<br>
15+5 is even better than 20+5 (I just did not want to sound too radical).<br>
This will make for a more dynamic conference,<br>

Paul, others,<br>
does it make sense to have three session per hour for both academic and not?<br>
<br>
The program is still flexible and this is the time to decide about it.<br>
<br>
we will decide inside the LOC about the 15+5 for academic, I don't see any major problem for the moment to approve it.<br>
It would be easier, IMO, if the program can be synchronized between academic and not to let people easily choose their own scheduling of presentations.<br>

Warning: Don't balkanize the academic track by choosing a different<br>
presentation format from the other content. If everything is<br>
consistent, the talks can be mixed and matched into rooms depending on<br>
expected *demand and interest* rather than artificial categories<br>
("it's academic").<br>

others may have different suggestion but how about making the<br>

+1 for academic track. I would even suggest 15min+5 as in most academic<br>
conferences where<br>
full paper proceedings are published.<br>
