What hasn't been agreed is the amount of time spent for this. I think
that pushing everything to 10:30 because of this is not a useful way
of spending our time. I believe 15 minutes should be enough for both
announcements and raffle.

I've been thinking about this. If the point of the raffle and the
announcements -as has been said- is to bring people together, then we
don't want to go splitting them into separate rooms immediately
afterwards.
Therefore, I propose this structure for the morning session
09:45 - Announcements and Raffle
10:00 - Keynote (no parallels)
11:00 to 13:00 - Concurrent talks (2 to 4 slots, depending on length)
This means less talk slots, yes, but I think that it will also mean a
better result both for the announcements/raffle and the first speaker
in the morning.
I agree that we will likely need to put concurrent talks in the
afternoon as well, at least on some of the days.
