I'll give it some thought tonight, and play around tomorrow.

Or how about, add clock icon to Day and have it open a popup that allows changing times of all Sessions and Breaks on that Day? How about that?
Done. How is it?

Thanks for staying up to do that.

Not sure...
I'm not getting the affect I wanted. When I look at that colorful page, I want to edit it right there and see the changes develop as I make them. I envision the page immediately refreshing itself whenever a time change is made so I can see graphically the affect of changing a time. Then I want to be able to edit those other fields one after the other without having to go to some other page and then coming back to see the changes.

If we're going to stick with what you have, I think breaking it into smaller chuncks would be preferable. The Event clock icon should only allow changes to Days. When you save, you see how you have rearanged the Days. Then a Day clock icon allows Admin to rearrange Sessions and Breaks for each Day individually.

But I still find myself looking at that page and wishing I could just edit it right there and see the changes immediately as I make them. I imagine a complicated Event with multiple Days and Multiple Sessions and Breaks in each Day. Say we have six one-hour Speakers with a five minute break between each.

Break :: 8:45 - 9:00 Plenary John Smith
Session :: 9:00 - 9:55 Electrical Joe Blow
Break :: 9:55 - 10:00 Prize Drawing and Introduction
Session :: 10:00 - 10:55 Plumbing Jon Doe
Break :: 10:55 - 11:00 Prize Drawing and Introduction
Session :: 11:00 - 11:55 Roofing Jim Jones
Break :: 11:55 - 12:55 Lunch
Break :: 12:55 - 1:00 Prize Drawing and Introduction
Yadda yadda
I don't want to go away to two different screens (one for time and the other for descriptions). I want to go down the list changing all the Start and End Times then clicking a refresh button to see my changes. Then I want to go down the list changing the topics (Title) and Speaker (Summary) without going somewhere else and having to remember where I am and why I'm there, then come back see what I did. My vision seems so much more efficient and less frustrating for the Admin.

Maybe I'm wrong and/or maybe it's not worth the effort. I don't know, but I have a 10:00 inspection.

Not sure how this would work, but what if an [Edit Page] button created an identically formatted but easily edited page? When saved, it disappears and the original page is refreshed with new content. Admin could make one change and refresh, or multiple changes and refresh while always working in the same layout.

Would help if I could see entire Date and Time. How about stacking them above each other and/or shrinking Location?
