I managed to follow everything I was interested in

I had to make some choices between events happening at the same time

I could follow only some of the events I was interested in because many were scheduled at the same time

No selection

20 minutes for all is a good compromise.

Some diversity in slot sizes would have helped reflecting the different importance of different contributions
