Later_Sessions: No
Exhibit_Hall_Hours: Schedule worked as it was as to the length (approx 2 days) but hall should not be shut down due to overlap with technical talks. Shutting down for keynotes worked well.
OS_Pavillion: No_Visit
Keynotes: Fewer
Reduced_Number_of_Keynotes: 3
Improve_Next_Year: Don\'t allow a company to \"spontaneously schedule\" a sponsored reception / BOF / whatever. Companies that are planning those base the size / level of effort on what else is going on at the same time. Case in point, the \"IBM Jazz BOF\" this year. While it did not seem to affect attendance at our event (still packed), it had a very underhanded feel to it. In the future, please have cutoff dates and stick to them so that everyone can \"cooperate and compete\" under the same rules.
