This is what I was referring to... the workshops.

I think it will be nice to have the breathing room. The focus 
groups essentially replace two talks, so that means four "talks" on 
Saturday, two on Friday night, plus banquet speakers.

In all other conventions except for 2003, ALL the talks, including the 
banquet, fit on 6 hours of VHS tape.  There were always five speakers. 
It was the nutty Texans that added six focus group presentors to the five 
speakers.

So I think four main speakers, two of which are "big big names", will be 
quite good.
