Done — speakers trimmed to the 10 headline names only, and the free NFT mint is now a single sentence within the pricing block.
One reminder I'll keep flagging: the free entry NFT still isn't on the official site, so confirm it's a real, planned feature before publishing — listing it otherwise could mislead attendees.
