It wasn't 60 minutes very early on.
It was 30 minutes very early on, but it's 90 minutes.
And that really, I think, helped people a lot.
They could get away.
If they just wanted to get away, they could get away.
They could go back to their room.
They could spend some time on the phone with family back home or call the office or what have you.
So for that purpose, it's important.
but also just walking up and hearing the conversations taking place and how folks would dip in and out of these conversations in that available time and even bounce from table to table during lunch.
We had those rounds in the lunchroom and I would see people get up and move to another table to join a conversation that they overheard and wanted to take part in.
So giving people more time, giving them, let's see, what do we do with 15 minutes between 45 minute sessions and a half an hour between the 90 minute sessions.
And I think any more than that would be too much.
And I found that less than that isn't quite enough.
So to Zach's question earlier, I guess that's probably one of the lessons I learned is just give people more time to have those organic unscripted conversations
that take place in the hallway or the hallway track.
Well, no, I'm, I'm, I'm glad you mentioned that because sometimes I forget about things that I've tried and abandoned.
And that is one thing I tried.
I completely forgot about that until you brought it up.
I did at one point as Mac stock evolved, as I mentioned, I started out with 20 minute sessions.
Again, I stole that idea from TEDx, but I'm sorry, borrowed gently borrowed that idea from TEDx, but it didn't work.
