This timeslot didn't have anything that really jumped out to me as a must see, so I decided to sit in on this presentation on Drupal by Blake Carver (of LisNews and LisHost fame). I enjoyed Blake's presentation and found it to be a solid description of Drupal's merits as a CMS and to be balanced indicating some of its flaws. For me the presentation mainly served a purpose in further indicating that trying to implement Drupal as a CMS on our extant website(s) would be a lot of trouble, and probably more trouble than it's worth. Blake also provided some interesting information about website server load which might be useful to us going forward.
Following Blake's presentation was a presentation by James King of the National Institutes of Health describing how Drupal was able to do amazing things for them. As I got the information I needed out of the first presentation I wasn't nearly so excited about this second half and wound up leaving early, although from what I saw it did seem that Drupal fit their needs nicely.
