Re: Summit registration is open--call for proposals

That happened with STM a few years ago, when they decided to make speakers pay. Speakers were so angry that STM backed down. But SSP and AAUP have no problem getting members to speak despite having to pay. That's because it's such a longstanding policy and everybody knows what the deal is. _Changing_ the deal is what upsets people the most. Since this is year one, we need to be careful to get it right. My recommendation: comp speakers for the Summit; pay to attend TPAC even on the day they speak. They're two separate events.

If I was asked to pay to go to an event at which I was asked to speak, I would probably turn down the offer to speak.

We also need to decide what to do for speakers. Most events comp speakers, usually for the whole event, sometimes just for the day they're speaking. Membership orgs often do that for non-member speakers but require members to pay the full registration fee (AAUP) or a discounted rate (SSP). I assume this is W3C's call, right, Bill M?

Do we have to pay for the summit of we’re already paying for TPAC registration for those days? I am going to need to attend some TPAC sessions and some Pub Summit sessions, but I really don’t want to pay for both. I am sure I’m not the only one in that situation.

Hi Bill,

On the first registration page there is "Enter Discount Code If Applicable" -- is there anything we should be using or if we're already registered for TPAC?

Or is $399 the right price?

Happy to go either way!  :-)

Best,
   Garth

Hi, folks—

The initial announcement of the inaugural W3C Publishing Summit is live now:
https://www.w3.org/publishing/events/summit2017.


First priority, of course, is REGISTER!! (That includes booking the hotel: rooms go fast, and prices go up.)

Note that if you are also attending TPAC, the rate is significantly discounted. So I encourage you to register for TPAC, too: https://www.w3.org/2017/11/TPAC/Overview.html.


You’ll also see a link to the Program Committee on the Summit announcement. While it may look as if we’ve got quite a list of speakers already lined up (and indeed we do), the program is still very much under development. We welcome proposals! Please email them to the Committee by July 15 at:
pubsummitprogram@googlegroups.com<mailto:pubsummitprogram@googlegroups.com>.

Thanks!

Bill Kasdorf, Program Committee Co-Chair
