Going Solo

We’re lucky to be holding Going Solo at a venue (Hotel Albatros-Navigation) where the staff and owners are not only friendly and helpful, but also flexible enough to allow us to leave registration open this week. Yay!

That’s pretty cool, because we know that in the world of mobile phones and endless choices, many people make last-minute decisions about their plans. And it’s not just whether or not to attend a tech/business conference: I know a couple of people who organize completely different kinds of events, and who tell me that last-minute sign-ups is a general (and recent) trend.

This poses a certain number of problems for event organizers, of course (when the number of attendees doubles in the week precending your event, or when you have 30 people instead of the 600 expected three weeks before) — but that’s another issue. (Hmm… maybe another event idea cooking…)

I’m happy that we’re able to keep this option open for you. Don’t use it as an excuse to put things off until the very last day, though: you won’t get a pretty printed badge if you sign up too late, and there is an extra fee if you pay cash at the door.

So, now’s the time. Tell your friends too.
