Jennifer What a luxury and so I can understand why you want to fine tune the programme which already looks very good as it is.
Just one thought: those who want to continue on projects for the coming year might appreciate the last morning to get themselves together, build rapport and coordinate actions so I might be tempted to bring forward what you propose for the last session on day 3 (continuing the work and 1 min advertisement) to the last session on day 2. I wish you well and most of all - have fun.
