I wish people could turn cell phones off for 45 minutes.

A great strategy for that is a charity box and a polite notice telling people you'll ask them to donate $10 if their phone rings. Once you've disturbed 100 other delegates I've never known anyone to not pay. It tends to work well for us.

The cell phone interference makes the presentation looks non-informative. It destruct... Maybe every conference, they need to put a cellphone jammer... if that's fine...

I know these jammers are illegal in the U.S. otherwise I'd carry one around with me all day long. I'm in favor of public stoning to the death although attendance might drop off.
