Thanks Dan.
We don't need to keep timing the same across venues apart from for the
keynotes. If we can, it's nice, but it's not compulsory.
Personally, I would recommend an hour for lunch - we want people to have
enough time for food and networking and potentially a short break too if
they want it.
Definitely something we can chat about tomorrow at the meeting.
Best wishes,
Nick.
