Just to give everyone a heads up, the available seating for this will be rather small (250 people, tops). So get there early!
Yes, that's a very small number of seats, but it was a conscious decision. The powers-that-be were, in fact, VERY kind in trying to find the best possible venue space, and in fact we even had an opportunity to get a venue that would've been second only to the
Nokia. However, the choice came down to either having a good timeslot in a small room, or a crappy timeslot in an epicly awesome room that we might not even fill since we're a new event.
Brad and I agreed that since things are being kinda rushed and since this is the first year (and prone to n00b glitches), it's best to keep things small and flexible. This is being looked upon as a trial-run, the results of which will determine if/how an IC can be run next year.
Also, it was the programming coordinators who inquired to me and Brad if event could be done, not the other way around. So if you see one of them around, tell them "thank you" for this opportunity.
As for the timeslot, Brad and I have a good idea what it will be, but we're waiting for official word before we announce.
Sadly, I won't be present at the event because I have other obligations, but Brad's at the helm. Nuff' said.
