|
| * Big/Popular talks/Main roam (Janson): You don't ask Q/A
| during those presentations so it would not change a lot.
|
| * Mid-sized talks/roams: It depends on the speaker how much
| interaction, he wants.
|
| * Tiny roams: There you will loose the jokes and the fun going
| on with well-know speakers in their communities.
|
| I think we will see less informal/fun talks because the
