Thank you for the positive feedback.

I did not state it originally (I wanted to see what sort of time limits
people would suggest), but my intention was always to have short
presentations ( < 20 mins) with limited discussion afterwards ( ~ 10 mins ).
This would create 1/2 hour timeslots for each topic, and allow us to cover
several 'tracks' in one evening. I never intended them to be full
'tutorials', more as incentives to  go and learn for yourself/ourselves.
