Here's an idea that may be more trouble than it merits...

Have the two sessions (intro and guru) separated by dinner.  From 6:00 to
6:45 is the beginner stuff (which I'm eager to hear), from 6:45 to 7:30 is
dinner (which I'm eager to eat), and from 7:30 to 8:15 is the guru stuff
(which I'm eager to hear).

I suspect most people are like myself, and will stay for all of it.  But if
they so choose, the gurus can stay at work a little later and the newbies
can get to bed a little earlier.  Only the dieters and the tightwads would
be stuck with a split shift.

My $0.02.
