What problem does this solve?

At physical conferences with multiple sessions in progress, it helps for many to browse the talks to make decisions on further engagement.

What is the solution?

In many conference halls, the design allows for people to enter and exit unobstrusively from the rear of the room. In places where such a design is lacking, thought must be given to "browsers".

When to use

When organizing conferences.
