We really want to have an in-person conference. If you plan to be at the in-person conference, please register today if you have not already done so. We are still short of our minimum to make the in-person side of the conference happen by six people. Even if we get six more in-person registrations, we are taking a financial risk. If you plan to attend virtually, please register for the virtual conference as this impacts the choice we have to make in the coming days.
Plus, if you register now, you get the early-bird discount, which expires on August 1.
For those signed up for the in-person conference, do not make plane reservations until we announce the decision for the in-person conference, which we expect to make this Friday, July 26th.
The conference takes place September 26-29, 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona and we really hope you can be there. Head over to the registration Web site now: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration
