Last week the timeline for PDC08 was posted on the
PDC site. All the sessions you previously selected, to help make a better schedule,
are already added to your personal schedule. This is my schedule, based on the sessions
I selected. As you can see, I have a small challenge, with 2-4 sessions at the same
time, so I’m going to have some difficult choices to make.
