          With the exception of 11 changes (out of 235 total), all
          Category Change requests were taken and fulfilled before
          February 15. The change requests are available for all Track
          Chairs to review and we also have a filter for "Just Moved
          Here" so you can track presentations that are new to your
          talk. In the case of the Products, Tools & Services track,
          only one talk was moved after February 15. <br>
          <br>
          The reason that we do this in 2 phases is so everyone has a
          chance to review not only their own track, but those
          presentations that were moved from another track to their
          own.  In this case, 95% of track changes were completed before
          the track chairs would have started the second phase.<br>
          <br>
          The impetus for the Foundation approving the changes is
          primarily to take one more thing off the plate of our Track
          Chair volunteers. That said, if it presents an undue burden,
          let's figure out how we can make it better.  It involves a lot
          of discussion and support, so it would increase the amount of
          time needed for volunteers.<br>
          <br>
          We always take feedback at the end of the process to see what
          did and didn't work, so keep all of the above in mind and
          let's discuss how to make your jobs easier :)<br>
