Session format for presenting:

Pecha Kucha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha)
Basically if someone wants to present something or some topic they have 20 slides and 20 seconds each slide to do it in. This limits the presentation time to 6 minutes 40 seconds. Group discussion can follow afterwards. This is just a format to keep things flowing and avoid "death by Powerpoint".
