>>Case in point. Some years ago I attended a seminar, onsite. One of the presenters, I will leave his name out of this message, very knowledgeable in the topic. Real guru!. But he was going at the speed of 200 mph and left most of the audience behind in about an hour after starting the presentation. When I was leaving the session, I exchanged some words with another person. The gist of the exchange was: This person knows a lot! But we have not learned much.
>>The conclusion: I would prefer to learn basics than nothing :)

>This is a challenge for speakers and one reason that we require papers for every session. That allows speakers to go through a lot of material quickly, knowing that attendees can go back later and cover it at their own speed.
>
>That said, different speakers have different approaches, and, of course, we offer sessions at different levels.

So we exchanged the opposite points of views :)
