Is there an approximate ETA on when a talk schedule will be released? I’m curious how many talks I’m interested in overlap with each other.

A general hint on how many things are going simultaneously would also be helpful.

Fantastic. Schedule looks great and I can make up my mind about most of the talks I want to attend.

I do have one question and some comments.

Who are Louisa Bisio and Greg Davill? I don’t see them in the talk list.

Also, I think it would be really cool to have the schedule stylized on a render of a PCB layout. Not sure how easy it would be (generating to standard page sizes, working with models, etc) but it would be neat.

Ah! Good point, just updated the page: https://kicad-kicon.com/talks/

I’ll probably leave this up to someone else…that might take a while :slight_smile:
