[Inpycon] Early bird registration

[Noufal Ibrahim]

Senthil,
   You'll be managing much of the people on the ground at the
conference - "The hospitality committee" as it were.

   Can you take a call on this? There's pros and cons either way but
your work will be most directly affected by this.

   HAving people print it out will reduce your work *if* they take printouts.

   If they don't your work will increase.

Thanks
