 +    * (Matthew) perhaps also anathema! Discourage collaborations from sending 15 students to give separate talks on teeny-tiny aspects of large experiment (my own did this: LZ/LUX) and instead encourage 1 talk by senior graduate student or postdoc or even faculty (invited?)? This would address massively parallel problem, because perhaps would end sessions that are the same people talking to each other.
