While we endeavor to keep as close to these agendas as possible, slight deviations can occur. Because not all topics have formal exercises, with some being mere discussions, those topics will be merged in at the most convenient times for the attendees. The times chosen will depend on how well the attendees are learning and the proximity to the main session breaks of lunch and end of the day.
