It was two sessions submitted after the deadline that the selection
committee decided to keep. Were highlighted yellow so that they could
find them.

Yes, there were less submissions, but they were all actually quite good.
Encouraging teams to go through a round of brainstorming before
submitting yields a lot less duplicates and crazy sessions.

We also had ample space (3 parallel rooms for 4 days, with only one day
of keynotes), more than we used to have. We decided to use the 3rd room
as a room available to schedule follow-up sessions, in case 40 min does
not cut it. More details on that later once the schedule is approved.
