>People absorb and retain information much better in the morning vs. the evening, it is a general fact. How early you get up is relative to how late you go to sleep, so maybe most people will try not to stay out too late on Sunday night. If it was from 7pm-8:30pm, then it would be ending near midnight for many people coming in from the east coast and even worse for those from Europe.


Hmmm ... I have to agree with Rick on this one. 8am *is* early for a lot of us ... I personally don't have a problem with it, but I know plenty of people that do.

I dunno, it just seems like more of a "kick-off" to the whole DevCon event to have the Keynote the evening before ... ya know, party before, party after ... < g >
