We could meet at the "DAY 1 2015-11-23 PRECONFERENCE" somewhere between 9:00 am
and 12:00 am.[1]
We would have a room and WIFI.

I would not advice to meet during the conference's day 2 and 3, as I would not
like to miss speeches. Though it's possible, of course.

I think these are interesting points and would like to discuss them!
