Warpstock Europe - как улучшить конференцию?

Мы все хотим, чтобы следующая конференция привлекла больше гостей и докладчиков. Как изменить конференцию, чтобы она "росла"?

Шаг 1: Нужно понять, что конференция начинается за год до D-дня (D-day - день штурма). The developers declare what they will make during the year. And declare what presentations they will show.

The conference is not simple meeting of people, this is the meeting of people which were working during the whole year and preparing materials for the conference.

// The speakers don't describe something what exist and was created by other people. They make work by themselves and then present the results of own work.

Conclusion: the list of presentations should be available in advance, in 6 monthes. So the visitors can prepare for the trip, prepare questions. And the speakers have time to make efforts to complete the projects for D-Day.

Фикс 2: Очень сложно слушать доклады во второй половине дня. Люди устают, засыпают и убегают раньше времени. How to fix this? It's necessary make other kind of meetings. For example, workshops with the developers. No slides, alive chat only. Everybody can make the questions and discuss the detailes. Let's say, the workshops are organized in 2 rooms and five developers sit there.
