The clinking of glasses soon brought the midday banquet to an end.
Everyone returned to the hotel to rest.
The hotel was right next to the summit, so after resting through the noon, the summit resumed at two in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, there were noticeably more people than in the morning.
Most of them were journalists, because compared to the morning's opening ceremony, the afternoon's speeches were much more significant.
Each of the ten speeches was extremely valuable. You could say they were the top ten papers in the field.
Such papers are sure to be featured in the world's top medical journals.
The copyright for these speeches is also exorbitantly expensive. A single paper's royalties could support a well-off lifestyle for an ordinary family for several years.
Apart from the money, status is also a very important factor.
The ten people taking the stage, besides the few fixed spots each year, are often dark horses.
