Each session is scheduled for 60 minutes and we will attempt to have 5 sessions in each track. We plan to have a Keynote speaker as well. Since this is a SharePoint conference, we prefer presentations to focus on what can be done out-of-the-box without making any purchases. If you represent a 3rd party vendor/solution, we have a specific Vendor track you might be interested in. You can find our Sponsor Package with further details on the Vendor track here. A popular option in the past has been to do one general session which lays out issues and provides many options for solutions and then do a Vendor track session which specifically talks about how your 3rd party tool solves the issue from the first session.
