Hi @Healandlove @7cough9 @Shaz51 @chibam and others interested in this event - we had some people reporting that they were experiencing an error when trying to register.  This has now been fixed - if you had this happen and are keen on coming, please try again and it should be working now.  Really looking forward to the discussion next Wednesday evening.
