That is a crazy idea. I don't know about putting the speakers on the hook for
two days -- particularly keynote speakers. Still, it would be interesting for
a site to flesh this out and propose something along these lines.

Hi - so
Maybe keynotes happen on the middle day; the one time where the whole
group comes together, though it would require a 2x size space... This
could also reduce the length to 4.5 days.

Given the fact that they have to be there twice as long (i.e. twice as
expensive), what would be the incentive to present?
This, personally, sounds like Presenter Gulag to me.

I agree it is a crazy idea and I'm not sure if it would work, but I
like the out of the box thinking.
If the site had one big space that could handle 500 people, you could
just have one keynote session that both groups attended., I guess.
That does restricts the options for locations, but not as
At least Declan acknowledged the idea was nuts from the outset.
Yes, it's nuts. Until I see a hosting proposal putting one of these
ideas forward, well, I was gonna say something snarky about endless
discussion but this is kind of a discussion list and I just added to
it. :)

Seems like a hybrid system might make sense.
Reserve spots for presenters and scholarship winners, and decide on
both before registration opens. I'm sure it's difficult to coordinate
voting for presenters, and I know from having volunteered on the
scholarship committee that it would be difficult
I agree with Ed: I like that someone is throwing out crazy ideas. I
don't particularly like this crazy idea though.
If you accept that the downside to multiple tracks is fracturing of
the audience/community, then I don't see how holding a 2nd clone of
the conference on subsequent days gets around
Here is another crazy idea; stream the event live for those who can't get
registered for the pace to face version and provide a lower registration fee
for them.

Seems a reasonable suggestion to me. The tricky bit will be how to
decide who's contributed substantially as a volunteer. Or maybe I'm
overthinking it. Otherwise, I like the blend of
first-come-first-served, guaranteed slots for folks who put in the
time, and a lottery system for those who
This is definitely doable, and potentially effective for a single
