Why do Speaker section and Schedule section don't have any div elements where they would be contained in?

It feels wrong.

Hiya,

The Speaker and Schedule sections are already children of the first container div that we created.

My thoughts are that we do not need to create div's for them because we can use the existing container div that they are already inside as well as the BootStrap classes (text-center etc..) to achieve the positioning and style we want without using the extra mark up that more div elements would create.

The content they contain though (the images and information that we will add in the next video) will need their own rows and divs to align them properly on the page though.

Sorry for the late reply. The reason why it does not have it's own div is because is wrapped inside the <div class="container"> on the way top.

A div is not semantic and really does nothing for your content unless you add classes for styling or other behavior. If you want to wrap your "Speakers" and "Schedule" section in semantic tags like main or section that will help you to organize your content better, but more importantly give more information about the structure of your page to users who use a screenreader.
