As I indicated in my earlier message, Microsoft did not choose this schedule/timing for the keynote session, Advisor did. I suggest you forward your comments to them if you want. There are pros and cons to any timeslot, others will prefer 8am. Not everyone will prefer one way, and feedback to Advisor about future conference is an option to all attendees.
