Registration remains open.
Registrations: 96
Ordinarily this close we'd be closer to 200. Is it possible many of
your speakers haven't registered, not know if their talks were
accepted?
I'd say very possible given there's a reg fee now, but you can't add
a copresenter unless they are reg so at least all of the
copresenters are registered!
This is a good thing to note for either planning or the app
design... ensuring we figure out who's accepted and not yet completed
registration so we can nagmail as needed. Should be quite simple to
accomplish but maybe having a button option is worthwhile. When
should folks receive acceptance notifications?
Session Proposals
===============
Session proposals: 117 (119 with 2 duplicates)
That seems like a usable number. I'd consider not extending given
how close the event is. You may have already discovered this, but
you'll find a chunk of them are duplicates. In the past, we've
suggested to people who submitted similar suggestions that they
combine efforts in whatever way works for them. Sometimes this goes
over better than others.
FWIW, I agree with this. Gratitude to Mo for the initial analysis of
numbers. 7 tracks seems like an awful lot at one time, but I
understand talk acceptance often motivates attendance or funding. I
put in a few notes with my votes (har!) where I saw an opportunity to
combine talks.
We've been yelled at before to keep it under 5 tracks because people
find more than that way too many. Something about impossible to
attend everything they want to see while simultaneously not having any
time for hallway track.
I'd also note that your submissions still heavily favor talks vs. "do"
things. Maybe the attendees prefer the talks?
