I don't think I've ever been to conference where all the speakers were announced more than a couple of day before the conference, and certainly way after last registration. Also I've never gone to a conference specifically because I wanted to see any of the speakers.
Do people choose which conferences to go to based on the main speakers?
- brightball 3y agoI know I do. Topics and speakers specifically. The lineup is a huge factor. I’m sure we all have our reasons but it’s something I put a huge emphasis on personally.
- ghaff 3y agoAnnouncing a couple months out is pretty typical. But it doesn't really influence whether I attend an event or not. And if there's some keynoter I really want to see, there's always video.
