Isn't that a bit late?
The final program is *the* premise for people booking the event. We have to do
some PR work which takes time.
And employees probably have to ask their boss for traveling budget etc.

=> IMO the program should be on-line at *least* 2,5 months before the event.

I'm not sure whether 5 min talks makes sense. IMHO they don't.

We never demanded that yet. Some people might be discouraged by having the
extra work.

Ciao, Michael.
