That might sound like a good thing for an attendee paying registration,
but it sounds a bit different if you consider the case of a company
deciding to sponsor the conference, doesn't it? There are many factors
involved. :-)
Mmm, but then too, they're separate financial years.
Yes, that's precisely the point: For a potential sponsor, it can be easy to
defer to the next financial year if you can rationalise it, particularly
when there's something solid to consider. It's a totally different decision
making process to an individual paying a very inexpensive registration fee.
