I think that would mean that the crew (partly volunteers) would
need to mobilise 24 hours earlier. Not impossible, I suppose,
but not free of costs either.

At the moment the various EDU tutorials usually get posted after
the event, and I agree that isn't ideal.
It would be useful for all these ancillary sessions to be included
in the "meeting materials" page and all agenda tools (official and
volunteer). Again, not impossible, in fact very desirable IMHO,
but not free.
