Forum on Details

Over 400 persons came for the Forum held last Saturday. It was well-received and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The trouble was that it was a bit too ambitious, in that it overran the time by about 1.5 hours! I had intended it to be a "Forum", so that the speakers would each give a half hour appetiser, which would lead to a spirited discussion later. Unfortunately, the content of each speaker's talk required more than the time allocated. Most of the talks ended up being an hour long. The sad result? No "Forum". The good thing? A series of very satisfying lectures. (Each speaker would have merited a talk on its own.) And it has set a good precedent for us to build upon.
