How to cancel a registration
In order to cancel your registration to a workshop, click on the small black circle with the white checkmark in it.
Once it turned back into a white circle, this mean you have cancelled your registration to the workshop.
Beware: Once you cancel a registration, your position in the list of attendees is lost /!\
What if the workshop is full?
If the maximum number of participant to a workshop have registered, you will no longer be able to register to the workshop.
However, there is still a possibility for a spot to free itself on the day of the workshop.
Reminder: A registration guarantees your access to the workshop up till 5 minutes before the workshop’s official start time. If you arrive later than that, you will lose your reservation, and any person present at the entrance will be given your spot in a first come first serve basis.
Do I need to have a sched.com account to register to workshops?
Yes. We are using the sched.com services to make our list of participants, and it is only possible to register to a workshop when logged in with your sched.com account.
Do I need to have a sched.com account to attend BruCON?
No. You do not need a sched.com account to come to BruCON. You will be able to enter the conference and all the talks without the need of a sched.com account. (For Workshops, see previous question)
Do I need to be registered to a talk to see it?
No. Registration is mandatory only for Workshops.
Can I register to more than one workshop?
Yes, you can.
Note: You will not be able to register to multiple workshops which occur in the same timeslot.
Note2: please make sure you register only to the workshops you intend to follow.
If I cancel my registration, can I re-register again later?
Yes, this is possible. However, as the registration is a first come, first serve; if you cancel you registration, you will lose your slot. If no slots are available when you register again, you will no longer be able to register to the workshop.
Hacker Run
What better way is there to start the second conference day than running 10km with a bunch of hackers?
Put on your running shoes and join us at the entrance of the Novotel Gent (Blue square on the map to the left) on Friday at 7:30.
We’ll be back in time to freshen up and attend the first presentation of the day.
Word is that it’s also a good way to get rid of a hangover!
You can add this to your Schedule on Sched.org!
You can reach out to @andydeweirt on twitter.
