Permalink Reply by Jeffrey Cufaude on March 25, 2008 at 10:39pm: Are you thinking of any presentations in the Pecha Kucha format? Seems like a natural fit for this conference. As a former meeting planner, I'd also encourage you to rethink only 10 minutes between sessions unless you don't want any conversation and networking to occur during that time. Or keep the 50-minute sessions but put a 30-minute networking break in around 3 p.m.; ▶ Reply to This
