<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The schedule format has been
redesigned to present a clear picture of the overall structure of the meeting,
identifying the different sessions, rooms, and their associated time slots.
Extensive use of standardized session and break times will provide a buffer
between sessions to facilitate a smooth meeting flow and allow more time for
delegate interaction. </span></p>
