I would just like to add that Betsy's idea of a few concurrent sessions makes a lot of sense if we want to avoid the reducing the number of presentations accepted. Another potential example that might work well would be writing centre presentations to run concurrently with curriculum or course-development presentations. I know that this example may not work quite as well as the research one, because some writing centres run actual courses and many people both teach courses and work in writing centres, but if we end up running a couple of concurrent sessions, then this is a suggestion for something that may not conflict as much as other topics.
