I've noticed a pattern here, and it's quite amusing. It seems that all three of you—Karl, Christopher, and Simon—are responding simultaneously. No idea what is amusing about it... Even though my question was directed towards the official organizer If it was directed to the official organiser and not an attempt to stir the proverbial pot, you would have emailed the official email addresses on the conference website. it appears that all of you are collaborating I cannot speak for Karl or Simon so this is regarding myself. I monitor the mailing list for anything that comes through that is simply wrong or misleading and respond accordingly. Is it APNIC's protocol to have multiple individuals reply in order to avoid PR issues? We do not reply to questions asked on behalf of or in representation of the Secretariat, the EC, or APNIC as a whole. We are individuals who do our research, read publicly-available information and respond accordingly to those who share incorrect info. In Simon's case, he is an independent observer and respected journalist in the IT community.

I haven't come across any official communication thus far. Is there any chance that a staff member from APNIC could provide assistance and shed some light on the matter? I'm simply intrigued by the reward, as it does appear quite appealing.

As I've not seen any official communications it'd be a safe bet to say that it's not authorised or approved.

I recently came across a post on Twitter promoting the #SnapAndWin campaign with the hashtags #apricot2024. The post encourages participants to snap a picture with a specified car, tweet it and win a $10 Amazon gift card USD. I would like to inquire whether this campaign is an official Apricot 2024 event ? Additionally, as I am attending the event online, I am interested in knowing if online participants can also join this campaign and be eligible for the mentioned rewards. Your clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards,
