Going Solo

Opening registration is a moment of truth for an event. And Going Solo has passed the test. I’ve had mainly positive reactions on the pricing (even students telling me that with the Earlier Bird discount, it was student-affordable), and more importantly, people have actually been registering. Well, yes. That’s the whole point, isn’t it?

If you’re thinking about registering, or might know people who are, I’d like to draw your attention to the fact the 300CHF Earlier Bird discount closes at the end of this week-end. It’s still “just” 400CHF after that instead of 600CHF, but it would be a pity to miss the deadline, wouldn’t it? So, now would be a good time to blog about Going Solo and tell all your friends about it.

To be perfectly honest, the pricing structure has one main aim: encourage people to register early so that there is money available for the inevitable event expenses — and so that I know where I stand regarding the general budget. Don’t wait until the last minute! I also like the idea that I can, during a short time, offer a price which is on-a-budget-compatible (if even students are telling me it’s affordable…)

Talking of blogging, I’d like to extend many thanks to all of you who blogged about Going Solo. There are some great posts in there — and if you do blog about the conference, let me know so I can add you to this growing collection of links. You’ll be in very good company! So far, we’ve had coverage in English, French, Dutch and German — which, as you can imagine, makes me doubly happy.
