1. Demo: PGA end user demo (create project, set up, execute experiment and monitor experiment results, etc... ).
2. Exercise: Participants hands on SciGaP test drive gateway.
   1. Repeat Demo 
   2. Try new experiments
   3. Try some post processing (Viewing output files, sharing actual real experience of a scientist with gateway usage, etc...)
3. Advanced: Solicit an application of audience interest and register it and show execution of an experiment.
