For anyone interested in a little context behind the organisational effort that goes into this event, William Osman (the genius brain behind Open Sauce) has put up 12 short videos documenting his attempts to promote the event in the week leading up to it. This is the first of those videos: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9qbjES787ZI

Sending out a simple reminder email would have made more impact. I did not realize the event was happening until I looked at my personal calendar.

Yeah something tells me scheduling coordination and planning aren't William Osman's strongest skills.

The group really needs to hire a long term secretary that understands engineers and content creation.

		I feel like everything about this event is about quality over quantity which is incredibly rare these days & likely what most participants & attendees value about the event. Adding a lot of professionalism to it is going to dilute that aspect. (& no quality!=production value)

The target audience is people who watch a lot of YouTube maker content.

He’s been advertising the conference constantly for months, not just a couple days before.
