Agreed. But if all you are sent for is the talks, your employer would
be better off just buying you a copy of the proceedings and telling you
to read it. If your employer thinks it worth sending you in person, they
presumably want you to acquire information and contacts that cannot be
found in the proceedings. That sort of thing doesn't usually stop at 5PM.
