I hope there's a proper agenda and each speaker is given adequate time. Each speaker should be given a specific topic or question to answer. Also, I hope the coming together of these respectable scholars leads to some initiatives or at least a joint discussion in private to deal with our communal problems faced in the UK and elsewhere. These annual events are great and I wish it gets broadcast on TV again but with a proper schedule. Last years coverage was off putting as the lectures were repeated over and over again and we didn't really get to see much of the main speeches. Also, the constant shot panning to the audience was annoying as well. This time I hope they set aside a daily 30 min peak time slot where every speech is broadcast to the full rather than a full 2 hour or 3 hour burst which I don't think many people would be able to watch in its entirety.
