The program export feature currently does not fully populate plenary (e.g. welcome, keynote, etc.) sessions. They show up as just

```csv
Name,Speakers,Room,Day,Start,End,Audience Level,Category,Url,Abstract
plenary,,"Session A, Session B, Session C, Session D, Session E",2016-05-30,09:00:00,09:30:00,,,,
```

in the `/talks_schedule.csv` file.

This appears to be because in the underlying data they are not real "talks" — rather they are entries under Symposion_Schedule > Slots, where they then have a "Content Override" that describes their purpose (e.g. the one above is "Welcome to PyCon").

Since the program export data is used to populate the mobile app, it would be great if these sessions could be fully populated in the exported data, whether as regular talks, or in their own separate file (no preference). My proposal would be that all "slots" of type "plenary" should be exported.

This is not critical for this year, as I can just populate the mobile app manually if necessary, but it would be nice to get as much as possible automated for future years.
Plenary session data is incomplete in program export

The fact that plenaries are not real talk entries dates back to at least 2015:

Given that I think the graphic design depends on these being special events to receive the right color, I am going to take you up on your offer to do keynotes by hand this year. I will mark this issue as deserving attention for next year!
