I agree with Nicolas. I share the thoughts that the communications about this event should and have to improve.
I'd paid for the ticket last year and when I asked for refund after because of the date changed, I didn't receive any response from the company Vectory Eventos. I have also sent a few messages to them asking about the reschedule, but didn't get any feedback. Unfortunately the ACS community here in Brazil seems to lack engagement to promote the platform.

I would like to mention some things that, from my point of view, could be improved by sharing my own experience. First of all, I think there has been lack of communication about this event. Personally, I've been looking forward to attend this event since last year, and the only official announcement was that event has to be rescheduled. As I needed to change flight tickets dates, I needed official information about the rescheduled event dates and couldn't find it on web page as it's been down or not updated. Luckly, I could communicate with Shapeblue people who helped me confirming the dates of the event for March so I could reschedule flight tickets on time (before September 28th). I think that they had to be announced last year so that everybody could be aware of new dates and had time to prepare for this CCC and could attend. In my opinion, I would like that event will be held on March, but, if you think it should have to be rescheduled again, can you please announce it or update web page? I know this things require extra time and effort, but I think that improving communication we can have a really nice CCC in Latin America. Thanks, Nicolas Vazquez 2017-01-17 12:51 GMT-03:00 Marco Sinhoreli < [email protected] > : Hi Will and all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The event day is booked but we have flexibility to change the dates. Professor Rubens Queiroz from Unicamp agrees to change the date to 3rd quarter. He suggested August or September in order to have enough time and to get rid of eventual overlapping with other IT event dates and to prepare our first CCC-BR. Our wish is to have an event with wide community participation and I agree with yours arguments. The dates they have available on the 3rd quarter are: August 09th - 10th September 18th - 19th In August there are 3 auditoriums in both days and September 3 auditoriums in 18th and 2 in 19th. The event will be transmitted online and the videos will be recorded. ASAP we have the website with CFP online, we will communicate to you all. I want that we all make this decision together as a community. For this reason, please, thoughts and suggestions from all of you are very welcome.
