Just curious how applications have been going. What is the capacity and how many applications have been submitted so far? The metrics behind how many applications have been accepted/waitlisted/declined/other? I am hoping it is shaping up to be a great event!
Hey Andreas! The conference capacity is around 500, we’ve admitted 404 people so far, and CEA have told me that usually 95% of accepted applicants register and 95% of registered attendees show up to the conference. Therefore we have 500-404*0.95*0.95 = 135 spots left, so ideally we’d like to admit another 150 people.
Our acceptance rate is currently 80%, with another 10% waitlisted and 9% rejected.

Alright Robi, that’s excellent! There’s probably an increased rate of applications towards the last few weeks so seems to be on a successful trend.
