This timetable is provisional. If any speakers want to change their time-slots then let me know and we can arrange something.

There are other events as part of the convention as a whole, e.g. there are plenary speakers talking about more general topics. More details on the convention web page.

For those speakers and attendees who will be staying around on the Saturday night there are vague plans to go out for a meal after the plenary talk that evening; more details soon.
