These talks will go rapidly as their surname indicates.   Once the
speaker is ready, the timer begins, and when it stops the talk is
officially over including any requests for questions.  I'm anticipating
a 6 minute turn-over so 13-14 probably would be the max, although I
think 15 may be doable if we move at lightning speed.

I agree you shouldn't be doing the brunt of the work.  I've put four of
your talks into reserve, and I'm hoping to do even more switching around.
