I kept hearing rumors that things were somewhat disorganized this year, but I usually put that down to people grumbling because they didn't get their way, or had to wait for something or other. Considering how late the schedule got published, the low-level grouchiness over pre-registration lines, and now this, I am wondering whether or not to give the rumors of "disorganization" a little more credence.
I've done class scheduling in other venues, so I can appreciate how difficult a task it is to organize the panels and communicate to everyone. Dragon*Con is difficult by a couple more orders of magnitude since you have to more or less delegate dealing with a couple dozen schedules that span a 4 day period. I'm not going to throw too many rocks from the porch of that glass house....
For my part of the process, since I now have email contacts for just about all the guests that have come through the AH track (and kudos on the appropriate icon BTW) I plan to make sure that all panelists are double- and triple-informed as to when things are happening.

Chalk that up to a lesson learned. :)
