We do not know who has admin access, and hence we are not able to post on that company page. * We have a LinkedIn Group https://www.linkedin.com/groups/3203762/ but that is only useful for communicating within the group. And is not useful for promotion of the conference outside the group. You can help by following the LinkedIn company page, and like-ing our posts, to help spread the word on LinkedIn.

We need to reach out a wider audience through the social media than the mailing list as majority of the audience won't be there on this list. I am always +1 for a childcare but without a number it is not much help to the organizers. Another idea (on top of social media) could be cross-post this email to other mailing list too. -- Sayan Chowdhury GPG Fingerprint : 0F16 E841 E517 225C 7D13 AB3C B023 9931 9CD0 5C8B From renjithsraj at live.com Tue May 28 00:09:55 2019 From: renjithsraj at live.com (Renjith s.raj) Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 04:09:55 +0000 Subject: [Inpycon] Do you need Child Care in PyCon India 2019?

I don't think waiting for a signal from participants to make a decision is a good idea. You may use the signal to plan the logistics. You are basically asking people who have already made their mind to attend the conference if they want to opt for childcare. The more important thing is can you convince someone who has not made her/his mind to attend because she/he has to look after their kids? I think you should announce childcare and boldly say "parents are invited with their kids". Anand -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our objective is to understand the effectiveness of the childcare option. As far as I understand, there have been very few or no takers in the previous years, please correct me, if I am wrong. There can be various factors, that could result in this. One for example could be, people are not willing to leave their kids within some unknown XYZ person at the conference venue. We just want to understand this better, and see if we could come up with alternate options. > You are basically asking people who have already made their mind to > attend the conference if they want to opt for childcare. The more > important thing is can you convince someone who has not made her/his > mind to attend because she/he has to look after their kids? This is exactly what we want to do, as well. We just want to ensure that the childcare, will be a convincing option. Regards, Vijay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
