<div>It’s a conference for the community who care enough to turn up in my view. We should give platforms to people who commit to being there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Simple ‘user story’, putting aside the community thing: attendee sees talk, thinks 'wow that’s really awesome’, tries to connect with speaker for f2f discussion afterward to find speaker is gone. Attendee thinks ‘well, that kind of sucks’. *especially*
if attendee has seen program and decided to invest to see a specific stream and target specific speakers.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Adam raises an interesting point, ie. whether a panel chair should be someone already committed to the conference. Alternatively, could extend the same offer to a non-attending panel chair as we do to non-attending speakers, ie. you can attend the session
you're contributing to, and the networking session immediately following.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any strong feelings on this from the committee?</div>
