Yes, that could work. But not if we hold to to 2-hour blocks though. If we do hold to 2-hour blocks, then it won't change the postion of lunch by swtiching the order, only by switching the start time. We had a terrific convention last year but one of the complaints was that there wasn't enough time to shmooz etc. The 2-hour blocks address that concern -- increases the social aspects and the support for the vendors. Otoh, there can be other benefits to having the Focus Groups first and the Big speakers later -- then we'd maybe want to move Amano ahead of Jan instead of him doing talks back to back, one before and one after dinner? sh _______________________________________________ AGA-mcm mailing list AGA-mcm@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-mcm
