Re: [93attendees] Meeting schedule

[Kyle Rose <[e-mail]>]

Agreed.

I think the primary issue is that there are too many sessions per day,
presumably to minimize overlap. One could skip the late sessions if
desired (as I did yesterday), but in my case I was still unable to eat
dinner until 9:00 because I had dinner plans with fellow attendees who
*were* at those sessions. I'd almost rather the conference go one
additional day and otherwise be done by 6:00 every night.
