How many can you go to in one night? (ie I assume they are one hour blocks like last time? so 7-9 you can go to two?)

They are going to be on the second floor of the engineering building (9) I am not sure of the exact rooms yet, but there will be posted signs and people showing you where to go.

Due to a conflict in scheduling rooms for the seminars, all of the seminars have been moved and will take place from 8-9:30 rather than the previously announced time. The seminars will be taking place in building 9, the Kate Gleason College of Engineering building. For those that haven't been here before i've attached a campus map with the engineering building highlighted in orange. Directions on how to get to campus can be found at http://inside.rit.edu/maps/

What's the answer to Kim's post? I would like to go to two of them but they are on the same night.

I don't have the answer to that anymore. When we had 2 hours to do them, we were surely going to run them twice per night, now that the time is limited I am not sure what the goal is. Most if not all of our presentations will be availalbe online after the seminars.
