I think having some kind of breakfast (even if it’s just bread/peanut butter/ hummus/bananas) feels super important for essentially buying an extra 1-2 hours per person
some people (20%?) will arrive later to the conference venue if they need to get food first (30-60m later if you incl. transport, buying, eating outside the venue etc.). for those people, they might have had either 1-1s or casual conversations over breakfast.
some people (10?) might be more tired or have a less good experience if they come early but don’t have time to get breakfast (so it’s not really buying hours, but quality-adjust hours?)
some people (1%? 5%?) might come in much later if they know there won’t be food til lunch
Huh, can you say more on this?
these are mostly educated guesses:
