dottyHi everyone. Do you need to print out any tickets or confirmation or anything for EuroPython?12:34
dottyHow will the people at the door know I have paid?12:34
Lunkwilldotty: afaik, you just tell them your name and they'll hand you your badge.12:38
dottyHm.. that's quite trusting.. especially as many people are on the "Who's Coming" page :)12:41
dottyBut cool, makes things easier :)12:42
dottyThanks Lunkwill12:42
Lunkwilldotty: if someone comes and finds that their badge has been picked up already, I'm sure they'll make a fuss about it :)12:46
dottytrue ;)12:46
d0ugaldotty: I'm not planning on printing anything13:22
d0ugalI don't think I did last year13:22
dottyd0ugal, fair enough - can always load it up on my phone if necessary13:24
d0ugalIndeed13:24
d0ugalBut if somebody takes my badge, I'm going to be hunting around florence for somebody that goes by the name "dotty" :p13:25
dottyHehe ;)13:25
dottyd0ugal, are there multiple talks on at the same time that you can choose between or is it just one after another?13:28
dottyI'm a first time attendee :)13:28
d0ugaldotty: multiple13:28
d0ugaldotty: https://ep2012.europython.eu/p3/schedule/ep2012/13:28
d0ugalUp to five talks and two training sessions all running in parallel13:29
dottyAh great, thanks13:29
d0ugaldotty: If you sign into the EP website, you can then star the talks you want to see. Helps you narrow it down a bit when you try to decide next week. That's what I've done13:29
d0ugalYou can also do that on the guidebook mobile app too I think13:29
d0ugal(although the two don't sync)13:30
dottyYeah, just looking at the guidebook app now13:30
dottyWill do it on that I think13:30
dottyThough does starring them on the EP website help the organisers determine demand or something?13:30
d0ugalIt may well do13:30
dottyCool, will do it on that too then :)13:31
d0ugalSome of the rooms are huge, some are fairly small. So I guess they may shuffle it around if the demand for particular talks is high or low13:31
dottyMakes sense13:33
dottyWhat happens if you arrive late by the way? I noticed that there's "registration" in the schedule.13:35
dottyNot planning to be late but it's my first time in Florence so who knows :p13:35
d0ugaldotty: Nothing, you miss stuff.13:40
mgedminI think the registration desk is staffed the whole time13:40
d0ugaldotty: That's just a dedicated registration time to encourage people to arrive early13:40
d0ugaldotty: Some people arrive on the second day or later - so I wouldn't worry.13:40
d0ugalThere are usually some people that never turn up too13:41
dottyAh cool, good to hear13:42
dottyThanks for your help anyway, see you all in Florence :)13:58
