Fri\u00adday has always been a slow day, and was so last year des\u00adpite some excel\u00adlent talks. Part of this is because people are tired, and par\u00adtially because the exhib\u00adit\u00adors pack up and go home on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p>So we\u2019ve made some changes this&nbsp;year.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The con\u00adfer\u00adence prop\u00ader will now run from Tues\u00adday to Thursday, with exhib\u00adits on all three days. We\u2019ll close the con\u00adfer\u00adence with a big din\u00adner and key\u00adnote speak\u00ader Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Tutori\u00adals used to be on Sunday and Monday; they will now be Monday and Fri\u00adday. We also expect some stand\u00adards groups to hold meet\u00adings on Monday and Fri\u00adday; for obvi\u00adous reas\u00adons they are encour\u00adaged to not clash with the con\u00adfer\u00adence, but schedul\u00ading meet\u00adings at the same time as tutori\u00adals is not such a problem.<\/p>\n<p>These changes do mean that we will be able to take few\u00ader papers, so it will be harder for speak\u00aders to get through the review sys\u00adtem and on to the pro\u00adgram. Over\u00adall, this is prob\u00adably not a bad thing but it does make the job of the Plan\u00adning Com\u00admit\u00adtee more chal\u00adlen\u00adging and my grat\u00adit\u00adude to the review\u00aders even greater.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I think these changes will help the con\u00adfer\u00adence. Being in Novem\u00adber (rather than Decem\u00adber) will also help. And we\u2019re back to a small hotel, rather than a big con\u00adfer\u00adence cen\u00adter, so people will eas\u00adily find each oth\u00ader. All of these are big pos\u00adit\u00adives. Now we just have to make sure that people sub\u00admit their talks on time (dead\u00adline is a month earli\u00ader than last year, since the con\u00adfer\u00adence is a month earlier!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The <span class=\"caps\">XML<\/span> con\u00adfer\u00adence I chair has tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adally run from Tues\u00adday to Fri\u00adday, with a clos\u00ading key\u00adnote at lunch on the Fri\u00adday.
