 Shall we then assume 2 parallel talk tracks in the 2 halls ?
 Considering we have more than 1 room for tutorials,
 can we think of running 2 parallel tutorial tracks ?

 I think Noufal's suggestion of 1st day being marked for
 tutorials is a good idea. But in that case we need more than
 1 room for running say 6-7 tutorials in 1 day.

 Assuming 2 halls for 2 days I will pick 15*2 => 30
 plus a few stand-by talks from the proposals (to allow
 for cancellations, which always happens) and around
 5-6 tutorials.

 Does that sound OK ?
