Are the speakers | supposed to watch the whole in-progress montage immediately | before their talk to catch the questions? And what about | questioners that send the questions after the talk, will there be | a second round offset by 24 hours? | ghego1 wrote: | The problem is real, but I don't think this is the solution. | | The point of conferences is discussing ideas, which | asynchronously is hard to say the least.
