In addition to a reminder for tomorrow's registration, we would like to go over some details of the registration process.
1) There are going to be 2 opportunities to register. Tomorrow is the first, where we will be making available 290 spots. Once we have determined that all required attendees have registered (sponsors, presenters, workshop leaders), we will reopen registration again in early January for the remaining spots. The total capacity is 440.
2) The registration system maintains a 2 hour session per registration attempt. Due to the potential of heavy access and this prolonged session, the conference may appear to sell out quickly. But once early failed sessions expire, more spots may open up beginning around 2pm. Because of this we ask you not to assume it is sold out until you hear an announcement from the planning committee.
3) There will be no waiting list at this time. A waiting list will open when we release the second round of registration slots.
4) The conference program is not complete at this time. The election results can be found here: http://2016.code4lib.org/talks/. This list represents the presentation voting results. Only the top ten (highlighted) have been accepted so far. As in recent years, the remainder of the program will be curated by the program committee, taking into account voting results, topic diversity, and speaker diversity. These selections will be announced in coming weeks
5) Registration will include the option to select preconference workshops. To view the available workshops beforehand, see http://2016.code4lib.org/workshops. Wait lists will be available for workshops, and you will receive relevant instructions with your confirmation email.
And finally, the reminder:
Registration opens Thursday 12/10/2015 at 12pm EST. At that time a link to the registration system will be provided to the mailing list.
