Can’t add the session to “My schedule”? Your meetings page could reveal if the slot is blocked by a pending meeting invitation.

Adding a session to your personal schedule does not commit you to attend (except for the dinner or exclusive sessions where very clearly communicated). Conversely, it does not guarantee your seat, so come in good time where you suspect a full room.
