Labels: Please collect a name label!

Don't be afraid to choose expert! We'll spend some time during introductions discussing the different experiences in the room.
Breaks: We can take a break whenever anyone needs to. There are a lot of different sections, so there will always be oportunities to get some air or refill on tea.
