The W3C track typically run for 3 days. So, in Madrid, the dates will be 
from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 April 2009.

The track will happen in one of the rooms of the main WWW09 conference 
center (which should fit 100 to 150 people). It will be the same set up 
than what we had at previous WWW conferences (check the latest 
"program+press corner" page at http://www.w3.org/2008/04/w3c-track).

Let me know of any specific requirements?

Thanks!
Best regards,

- Marie-Claire.

It would be good if we could
