For the planning team

A few things we need

To finish the site and open registration. Anyone who can answer, please do. Updated June 24, 2026.

Venue & hotel

  • What’s the hotel name and address?

  • What’s the room block -- nightly rate, booking link, and cut-off date?

  • What’s the seated capacity of the main room?

    This sets our ticket limit.

Tickets

  • What are the ticket types and prices?

  • When should registration open?

  • Which meals are included, and are they part of the ticket price?

Money

  • Which bank account should ticket revenue go to?

  • What’s the refund and cancellation policy?

    We need it for the terms and the ticketing page.

Sponsorship

  • What are the sponsorship tiers, prices, and benefits?

    The sponsors page is a placeholder for now.

Speakers & program

  • Which speakers are confirmed, and who is a main-stage vs. breakout speaker?

  • What are the breakout session topics, and who leads them?

  • Can we get a photo and a one-line bio for each speaker?

    Still missing photos for Nesa Ashraf and Omid Akhavan.

LinkedIn

  • Who runs the LinkedIn page, and can we get each speaker’s LinkedIn to tag them?

    Tagging speakers in announcements is the easiest way to reach the right audience for free.
