Anyways, I forgot to do the survey last time. If you're still looking for
participants, I'd consider it.

This is the same conference as mentioned in the last email awhile ago,
right? If it is, I think it's important to mention that the age group is 18
to 35, unless that's changed. As I said at the time, my past self (I was 16
when I started editing) would've been surprised and disappointed that a
conference specifically aimed at youths didn't include me but did include
people much older.
