Hi,
This event was just brought to my attention but I see that registration is closed. Can you please tell me why two months before the event you have chosen to close registration versus a month or a few weeks? Is there any chance of registering if someone drops out or any other way?
Registration was closed in order accept current registrations and create wordpress accounts for participants in order to allow them to propose sessions. It also gives ample time to participants to make travel and hotel arrangements. Even if there is a hard deadline, people tend to wait until the last few days to register, and I need a head count for food and hotel bookings. I can create account manually for you or anyone else who wishes to register after the deadline–there is still plenty of room. Please send an email to , and I will create an account for you on wordpress.
