It was for one glorious year but our hearts are just not in it. Rather than half-ass a conference we've decided to cancel it. All tickets will be fully reimbursed. I've already reached out to those that have purchased with how that will be done.

Hi Brian,
Let me give you what little feedback I can...
For what it's worth, I would have attended last year if I hadn't been triple-booked for most of the weekend. I fear that holiday weekends are challenging in general, for exactly this reason.
I had hoped to attend this year, but to be completely honest, the weekend/holiday weekend/evening time frame made it much less appealing. I don't want to be a stick-in-the-mud or anything, but honestly, I'm not 25 any more. I have a family and a busy life outside of my job. While some of my personal hobby time is spent writing code, lots of it is spent doing other things. My weekend and evening time is precious to me, and when I suggested to my just-learning-Rails coworker that he might consider the WGR conference, he was very straightforward in telling me that he felt the same way.

I hear what you're saying about being valued for one's work, and not [ gender | connections | increased ticket sales | etc ]. Until more women speakers are the norm, we'll wonder if there are additional motivations. People will stay through our talks for their content.
Cheers-
Janet
