Hi Joseph,

You mentioned ...

I'm not an official spokesperson for the Symposium but the several
Symposiums I've attended have followed a general pattern such as this:

Thursday - BoD Meeting (open to members)

Friday AM - BoD Meeting
Friday Afternoon - Technical Presentations
Friday Evening - Socialize, meet n' greet, etc.

Saturday AM - Technical Presentations
Saturday Late Morning - AMSAT Annual Meeting, then lunch
Saturday Afternoon - Technical Presentations
Saturday Evening - AMSAT Annual Banquet

Sunday Morning - Field Coordinator Breakfast, varying technical session,
guided tour to high tech site, IARU meeting, etc.

> When will the official presentations / talks schedule be posted?

I'm sure this is still TBD at this point. The due date for the Call for
Papers is September 1 so this info is coming soon! The official program
usually comes out a couple of weeks before the Symposium.
