If we target a thousand participants, based on our experience, we can definitely allow at least 1300 to 1400 participants to register, please note and give away free tickets. Let's also start to talk about how do we give them free tickets (with quota or not) from each organization (e.g. 30 to 50 tickets each or unlimited?), if we use DoAttend, is it feasible or easy to track? or should we consider Google Form or other FLOSS form tool?We shouldn't have free registration on doattend. People who are paying for registration, will feel cheated. If you know any FLOSS form tool, we can use it. Other wise when we will go to meet college Principal / HOD, we can invite 30-50 students and lectures and we can have printed forms on registration desk at venue which should be filled by free participants. After filling the form, we will give them badge. This will be done to have information available to send survey as Pockey mentioned earlier.Let's not use doattend in this case, I am okay with either sending them invitations by using Google Form or similar tool, or giving them free badges on the spots. Please select one that bring you more convenience.I have setup a separate page [1] for students of Dayananda Sagar (DSI). This will make registration easy and will help in collecting their information for survey. We can justify free registration for them as they are our venue sponsor but i have set it up separate just to avoid confusion for other college students.

We started registration yesterday. So far we have 5 people registered. 1 student and 4 delegate. 3 registration on March 2nd and 2 on March 3rd today. So it's time to discuss about how to promote the event.Hi! We haven't seen any progress on the registration count. Obviously we have an issue with either the promotion of event in India or the cost? Last year we got 1000+ registration in less than 2 hours and I'm not sure what were the figures for 2008. Maybe Emily can fill us on this. So while sponsorship, talks and everything else seems to be doing ok, it would be sad to have an great event without participants. What do you (local) guys suggest and how can we quickly remedy to this situation?I have asked a few marketing guys to use their channels to spread the message in all engineering colleges in Bangalore. We should see some traffic in the next week. We'll also brainstorm to see how to rope in more interested people sooner. Regards, BharathThank you.
