It seems that wikiality is strong. What the wiki says were the guidelines
may not have been updated to represent the actual presentations (unless you
are a Colbert Report fan).
The two hours is a guideline and includes setup and breakdown time. Each
location presents new challenges. No-Regrets requires more setup than MaRS.
What we've realized is that there it is difficult to reduce the transition
time between presentations to zero. It is easier to realize that there is a
transition and just build it into the plan. It felt cramped doing 6
presentations in the 90+ minutes, i.e., it's not 2 hours, it's closer to 90
minutes.

So out of the first 10 DemoCampToronto's 60% where scheduled to have 6
presenters, and due to hardware incompatibilities 50% had 6 presenters (I
missed DemoCampToronto6 for previously documented reasons).
Cheers,
