My use case for an extremely large ML conference is that it gets everyone in the same location for a few days, so I can meet up with all the people I don't usually see (not serendipitously, but by scheduling time in advance). If it sells out in 15 min, that doesn't work anymore.
I didn't get a ticket, but even if I did I'm not sure I'd want to go this year, since all the people I would have liked to meet most likely didn't get one... defeating my use case.
Persuade your friends to come to #DLIndaba2018 / 2019! Facilitate ML growth in Africa and working on truly humanitarian use cases, as opposed to ads.
I'd second but I can't afford it so I'm saying this is a bad idea.. out of envy
This is precisely the same conundrum faced on Burning Man ticket day.
They are going to start using an invitation-based system :P
Do really all people you want to meet have no paper? There are lots of tickets reserved for authors.
Somehow it makes me feel good, seeing that at least it was fair, and that many famous researchers did not get a ticket through "channels". But I sure hope that the hype will subside a little.
