I've got my sessions for SGF 2016 all figured out. Of course, there are always way more interesting topics I'd LIKE to attend but there are conflicts. In the past I've 'double book' myself when I had more than 1 thing that I was interested in. That way, if the first topic was full or didn't match my expectations I could go to my '2nd choice' and so on. With the 2016 scheduler, you can only put in 1 session for a given time frame. You can label others as 'interests' but they don't print out or export from the scheduler. I think dropping that flexibility to have multiple sessions on your calendar at the same time was a big mistake. Here's another example: Session 1 goes for 90 minutes from 9 to 10:30, that locks me out from scheduling sessions that go from 10:00-10:50 completely, even if I would have dropped in only for the last half of the discussion. I think we've taken a step backwards in the online scheduler this year.
