Turns out my proposed workshop structure isn't suitable - the capacity
of the workshop is small without the coming and going as I suggested.
So it looks like Nick's ideas of concentrated workshops are more
sensible, apologies Nick, we should have gone for that in the first
place.
However, a good thing has come from our bold proposal, Carsten is
looking to see if we can do two hours worth of presentations in the main
conference space. His mail is attached. Thoughts appreciated as ever!

i guess 20 people would fit in.
im not sure if 11 workshop leaders would make sense, what you propose sounds
more like a presentation for a conference space.

hm, there is no other space for the workshops. but maybe we should check if
we can modify it in direction of a presentation of all the tools and systems
in the conference space for a bigger audience (duration 2 h) and a
concentrated workshop with up to 3 workshop leaders and 12 people audience
afterwards.
for us it is important, that the workshops can be accessed by audience, it
would make no sense to do a more internal meeting workshop in this space.
let me know what you think.
