Shhhhhhhhh
Out of courtesy for our demonstrators/speakers, please refrain from talking during the program. You have plenty of time to converse with your friends at the break, before and after the meeting.
Please keep the meeting room clean as you found it - also it would be helpful if you would put your chair back in its original position when you leave.
