I really appreciated having more unstructured time during the meeting, but it was clearly the case that many people felt that the meeting ended on Thursday and consequently left early. (Also, ob-anecdotes-are-not-data but I had fewer conflicts than usual, although I was also busier than usual). I hope that there's support for trying again, with either a mid-week day set aside for unstructured time, or some session slots left unscheduled.
