I've always been in favour of spending the whole week ("helicopter 
lobbying" isn't my scene), although the start has been suffering from 
significant creep in recent years. Once upon a time you might get away 
with arriving on Saturday, for participating Sunday, but now it's been 
pushed back from even that (in Beijing four tracks on Saturday, and 
others even earlier).

The problem with attending different silos is the way the agenda has 
become increasingly arranged around constituency-ism (so if you want to 
attend "your" constituency then you can't do that as well attend 
others), and with as many as ten tracks simultaneously.
