  The page publishes presenter slots by person name without talk titles; those labels are preserved rather than inventing titles. The agenda spells Laura Veldkamp as Laura Velkamp in the timed row; speakerNames uses the spelling in the page's speaker section for entity linking. The untimed conference-session overview and timed agenda disagree over whether the panel is Session 3 or Session 4; only the timed agenda label is used.
