Here’s the breakdown by Event Type:
If you look by Session Type, here’s what you see:
You can also look by Solution Area:

The sessions above are filtered to the main keynotes in English and in the Pacific time zone. I filtered out the many repeats for specific languages and time zones.
When it comes to the other types of sessions (On-demand, Breakout, Core Theme, Product Roundtable), there are just too many to attend. It’s not possible to watch them all in a week. I browsed the list and selected a few that looked interesting to me:
