Honestly I didn’t see it that way - perhaps that wasn’t clear to me. I’ve been involved in a few conferences and scheduling has always been a seperate step to selection. When scheduling you have different criteria and want to try and minimise scheduling similar talks or popular talks against each other, but there's is never an ideal solution that suit all attendees. For a couple of conferences I’ve been involved I've even randomly generates thousands of schedules to try and fine a possibly optional one that have minimal conflicts, > Because we try to schedule "totally unlike talks" next to each other Yep that generally works well.
