It's not. It's for statistics, as we say when we collect it. I think it's our business, as a community, and as conference organisers, to try to increase the diversity at our events. To me, that means increasing speaker diversity, primarily. Attendee diversity won't change unless the speaker diversity changes. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
