Alternative three half-days format

Future seminars could be given over three half-days if enough people would prefer this format (this is how our virtual seminars have been conducted). The material covered is the same with either format.

The meetings would be held in the morning and participants would have afternoons off to enjoy the premises, get some office work done remotely, or to go visit some nearby attractions.
