Six seats left before the Fire Marshall/Brigade steps in
Category Collaboration UniversityThe past week has been a whirlwind of final-countdown activity towards next week's Collaboration University in Chicago. Both Troy and Julian flew to KC last week for our own final prep, the rest of the speakers are submitting their final drafts, and the video production is going live for our pre-conference sessions tomorrow or Thursday.
And while there was a bit of a pile-on last Thursday and Friday for registration, it appears that there could be as many as four chairs left in the room on Monday morning. That is, unless we have some last-minute registrations. So - hope you like your neighbors, because the likelihood of getting an empty seat next to yours is pretty low when we're all together. And, we have only two possible spots left in the post-conference workshops (that's after wrangling together an extra 20 laptops!).
Checking in on London, where the facility has 10 fewer spots, it appears we have about 2 seats left in the main session. Of course there, we have a window at the back of the room with a nice patio, so I suppose we COULD have some people outside with their noses pressed against the windows. It would be unattractive, but I suppose workable. Or, I could be nice and have some speakers step outside while the general sessions are underway. (Yes, I'd do that!) In London, we're 3 laptops short for workshops, so a few people will be using their own machines, or we'll give up our own for an afternoon.
Suffice it to ay I'm extremely pleased that this year we have the right size venues, the largest attendance yet, and the perfect mix of new content delivered both live and via pre-conference video.
There are still those six chairs, folks. So if you want the opportunity to fill one of them, now is the time! Go over to the website, review the final agendas, and register!
See you in Chicago or London!
