-General welcome, introductions and team formation.
+* General welcome
+* Introductions
+* Idea Pitches
+* Team formation
-Participants with ideas can give a 5 minute pitch to the group to recruit people to their team.  At the end of the pitches, people can decide which team they want to join/form.  To gain maximum benefit, it's best to be in a team of at least two :).
+This is the point at which participants will decide which proposals they want to work on.  The sponsors of each of the Ideas proposed head of time will be invited to give a 5 minutes pitch to the group, with some questions from the audience.  Slides/screenshots optional.
+After all the ideas have been pitched, we'll have a little break for people to chat and work out which proposal they want to work on.
+If a proposal ends up with fewer than 2 people wanting to work on it (including the sponsor), then it will normally be dropped.  This is to encourage people to work in groups - larger teams can get more done in the time, and have more opportunities to learn from each other, plus it's more sociable!
