Quick answer
What this page settles
Treat the schedule as an operating sequence, not a list of audience-facing start times. Use this page to create participation with a clear reason, comfortable choice and easy entry. The working record is participation rule, opt-out path, timebox and stop cue; the main failure to prevent is forced participation or unclear rules causing discomfort and delay.
