As someone who's never been to Code4Lib, really wants to go, tried on "Black Wednesday" but unfortunately had meetings all morning that prevented her from getting to it until it was too late-- When do wait list people usually find out they're in, if they get in? Plane reservations get more expensive as time goes on, and much as I love cross-country driving, February's not the best time for it. Wondering if I should gamble now...

Many of the folks who attend every year hold the conference as one of their key annual events, and plan to register the instant that tickets become available. I know that it sells out fast, but the folks who are there on the dot pretty much always get in. The alternative, of course is to present, although that can be rolling the dice, or volunteer, which I did this year. If you are on the waiting list, bear in mind that plans frequently change, and waiting list requests often get filled.
