Indeed, although he did not yet reply to my first question (quoted above) regarding people who have already been rejected. As I mention in my response, this would seem to have implications regarding speed of getting back to people so perhaps you can help in the meantime. > The on-site accommodation itself is free, but it doesn't provide > mattresses, blankets and pillows to sleep on, so without them we have to > sleep on the hard floor. Are you sure attendees are aware of these things? (I also note you plan to ask everyone to bring umbrellas.) These non-trivial considerations don't seem to be being communicated which will certainly affect whether some people wish to stay at the venue or even attend whatsoever, therefore also having bursary implications. > I am wondering if selling used things after conference is not > appropriate here.
