The Secretariat has done a terrible job of notifying people of their
constant changes to the schedule (there's just been yet another set of
changes, on 20 September).  Not even having (or, correction: having, but
not using) a mailing list for attendees to update them about things like
this is unfathomable.  But I've been saying this for 5 years, and
nothing ever changes.

So to make things easier for yourself, just subscribe to the iCalendar
feed at http://igf-online.net (the direct link to the feed is
http://igf-online.net/?ec3_ical), which has been and will continue to be
updated with changes as they happen.  Most calendar software (eg. iCal,
Lightning, Google Calendar) can subscribe to an iCalendar feed, and
there's also a web version under the "Calendar" link on the front page. 
(For another unfathomable reason, the Secretariat won't link to
igf-online.net on their site.)  Let me know if you have trouble.
