Sesson time links?

Hi everyone,I'm trying to find a link to share for my presentation that would allow someone to find it on the schedule.  I can point them towards the description page, but how can I share the event time?  It appears that one would have to browse through all the presentations in the calendar until they found the event they were looking for.  Obviously…See More

Searching for a presentation?

Hi, I just made a huge discovery.  If you are looking for the time of a certain presenter, you can use the search feature in Google calendar.  This is assuming you've loaded the conference schedule into your Google calendar.  Type the person's name in the Search box and you'll find the event time for your time zone.  I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of this earlier.  Perhaps there are others out there searching for presentation times like me.
