Re: Everything is too long
#220-30 minutes of content is plenty to satisfy me. I really enjoy the ignite format, where the slides are on a 30sec timer, but they do too many presentations. We need events where there's lots of pressure on the attendees to keep the presentation tight and fewer presentations in the whole event.

I find that people consistently use 10 words to say what can be said in 3.

They talk excessively.

I vaguely remembered some result about the ideal lecture length, and some quick Googling produced:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7665025
"CONCLUSION: This study shows that a 20-minute lecture was equal to the classic 50-minute lecture in terms of information retained by residents. If future studies confirm this study's findings, medical educators will need to reevaluate the length of lectures to improve efficiency of teaching."
So even more reason to limit the length of time given to people to talk.
