@ppk @seb_ly FWIW, sponsors were approached with the claim that they were expecting 3000 speakers. The only reason to book a venue of that size is if you’re hoping to bring in that many attendees. And Also the only way to avoid just a handful of attendees per talk.

I think this is an example of their reach far outstretching their grasp.
