DawsCon Update

[Kenneth Fogel <kf...@dawsoncollege.qc.ca>]

As it stands now over 350 have registered for the event here in Montreal on Friday, January 11. How many actually show is the question. As a free event we tend to have more no-shows. I have asked all the participants who may have changed their mind to cancel their ticket at Eventbrite but very few have. We had a waiting list with over 40 people on it so I have converted them into available tickets.

I will expect some of you to come and present at next year's event on January 10, 2020. I usually start looking for speakers for next year the day after this year's conference. I snared Josh Long last January.

Congrats Ken! This is great!

Our rule of thumb in the JUG is a 50% no-show for free events, so, if you
can fit 200 or so attendees in the place, I would just let everyone be
registered.

Looking forward to seeing pictures!

Good luck!
Bruno.
