Changes

**The voting for the presenters went for another 2 weeks beyond the registration opening. This seriously delayed the finalization of the participant list and the release of the wait list.

**Each presenter (or person on the wait list who then could fill the space left vacant) had to be individually contacted to get their payment and connect with the hotel about their lodging.

*We started with 213 spots open for general registration because pre-conference, conference presentations were not chosen yet and we didn’t know who the sponsors would be.
