Where in COD can i find out/see/attach "My Session Schedule for Attendees" i.e. all the sessions that i (as an attendee) signed-up for:
Day 1
9:00am - 10:00am - Session 1
10:00am - 11:00am - Session 2
.
.
.
4:00pm - 5:00pm - Session 10
Also, while the Non-Conflicition functionality exists at the Session-Creation level, i cannot find it at the attendee level i.e. Currently in COD, attendees can book multiple sessions at the SAME time in different rooms (whereas in real life, this is NOT possible/permissible).
Thanks for your help.

More than one session per attendee might be ok
Actually being able to add more than one session to an attendee schedule at the same time might not be bad.
For instance I was going through the Chicago Drupalcon schedule this weekend and there are a couple of time slots where I can't decide which session I want to attend. So I added both. That gives me the option to a) defer the decision until I'm there, or b) leave one session and have the alternative all ready if I realize I "chose poorly" (to quote a well known knight).
Here is HOW it should be...
You CANNOT be in two rooms at the same time in any conference at one time: Here is HOW it should be:
The user should then be able to build a schedule of NON-CONFLICTING sessions within the main conference:
just has general interest in. If there is a timing conflict, the system should give following choices to the user:
Or not
Let's just agree to disagree.
As an attendee, I often will make plans for either one session or another depending on lots of things, like what I heard in the hallway, etc. I absolutely guarantee I have NEVER gone on-line to modify my schedule during a conference. And I've walked out of a session moderately frequently (I'm actually getting less tolerant of being in a "bad" session--either because the topic isn't what I thought it would be or the speaker's presentation skills).
As a conference organizer, I recognize that my audience will be somewhat fluid. If multiple people sign up for two different sessions at the same time I know I might have a seating issue in one or the other (and I need to investigate why several people can't decide, perhaps I've put two related sessions into the same time slot by mistake).
And I don't remember seeing the option to firmly schedule one session and "favorite" a second session in the existing implementation(?).
