       | number. It'll be a great time.

       | This cutesy, fluff, advertisement-style language sounds deeply
       | unappealing. Am I just a grouch or is this a huge turn-off for
       | anyone else?

         | It's a conference where people use a cutesy style to
         | communicate about serious topics in a fun and light-hearted
         | way. If it's deeply unappealing to you, you're not the intended
         | audience.

       | Is there a reason they don't have a schedule or speaker topics?

       | I'm proud of this website for remembering to include the date of
       | the conference. That was a great idea. Good job. If, however, I
       | could include a small suggestion, some visitors might find it
       | helpful to also be able to discover where on Earth (or whether
       | it's online?) the conference is, whether there's a cost, and how
       | one might acquire tickets.

       | This looks like a great speaker lineup. Any details on how to
       | attend? Is it all just livestreamed on YouTube?
