This looks a fascinating programme, Joan! I hope the proceedings are well-documented, as the nearest I'll get to it is reading about it. :-)
Fascinating indeed -- but look at the length of the sessions! How can one learn anything useful in such a short time? I wondered if they might be teasers for longer presentations held elsewhere.
Oh, gosh, I see what you mean! Mostly 15 mins. They certainly don't leave much time for Q&A.
I suppose it's possible they're multiple sessions held in parallel. Or perhaps they just talk very quickly.
