I frequently attend other Australian tech conferences where most sessions are streamed or recorded, but certain talks have opted out - either due to the presenting speaker or their organisation.

As an example I've seem a few interesting talks by DSD spooks which obvious were tightly controlled due to subject matter, whereas others opt-out simply because the presenter just preferred not to have live or recorded A/V for privacy or personal reasons.

Those conferences and usergroup meetings seem to be able to deal perfectly well with this, often simply with a pair of checkboxs within their CFP submissions process.

I think these all-or-nothing sort of objections seem to be somewhat specific to this particular NOG community, rather than the geographical region of Australia/APAC as a whole :)

Cheers,

I’m confused at the insinuation it’s an “all or nothing” approach. Other NOGs around the world operate a hybrid model successfully, whereby those who cannot have their presentations recorded or slides shared for <insert various reasons here> don’t. Yes, some people attending remotely only will miss a small handful of sessions, but it’s only a small handful.

If other NOGs can make the model work, why can’t AusNOG? I’m genuinely interested in understanding in what is so unique in this part of the world that makes it unapproachable.

 The guarantee for streams to not be replayed is limited. Many legal teams cannot approach that. It's as simple as that.

I'd, personally, rather AusOG get the awesome presentations rather than the redacted ones.. YMMV.

It’s very common for conferences for slides not to be published or the stream not to be replayed later but streaming is here and not going anywhere, if anything with the conference size constantly growing it would likely end up in MORE revenue as tickets often sell out and space becomes an issue so even more now than ever it would seem worthwhile.

its not that Australia is special, but (from experience) previous presenters have said explicitly "don't stream, don't share slides".

i.e In $dayjob I cannot show or say things regarding some stuff that is recorded or streamed...

    I’m not buying that this is the case because any single person
    considering 300 people have laptops out could record this at any
    time whether Video or Audio.

    NZNOG stream, NANOG stream, I went to a conference recently for
    RPAS with companies like Boeing, Northrop Grumman and other
    military industrial complex types talking and it was all
    streamed privately with an NDA agreed too when opening the
    stream, we’re way past the days of someone saying something in a
    room being private and if the other NOG’s can do it then why is
    Australia special….

    All valid points and it's hard to please humans 100% of the time.

    All we can do is provide options and boundaries which the board
    have done.

    It's now up to the community to make choices.

    The board to a great job and it's easy for me to play devil's
    advocate from my arm chair.

    I look forward to attending an AusNOG in any inclusive and
    available form that works for everyone.

        there are of course two other interesting components to this
        1. "its the network (of people) behind the network.. eg get
        to know people, meet people, be in person (if you can) and
        build trust by eating with, drinking with, those that you
        can help or they can help you.... 2. if it is streamed and
        you are remote, the "ausnog steam blackout" isn't helpful to
        anyone.

        my perspective, ymmv.

            You do raise a valid point and I hear your view.

            Numbers and statistics can be viewed to make anyone's
            points true I was just saying - what if.

            > Past performance is not a indicator of future
            performance. /s

            > All advice is general in nature /s

            But in the interest of healthy community debate:

            Let's say 1/4 of the talks are only 'in the room'

            Therefore the above is discounted by 25% cause the
            participants only get 75% of the event.

            - 15,000 / ($300 * 0.75) = 66.666 Tickets.

            For every pro there is a con.

            Innovation does not come without compromise.

            I'm sure those extra 16 seats will sell fast with the
            e-swag that they receive.

            Don't know how I'm going to fill that .666 of a seat 😈

                    Hi Shaun,

                    are you aware that not all presentations can be
                    streamed? Many presenters provide content that
                    is "in room only" and even their slides can't be
                    shared. How does that factor into you math?

                    That is the key benefit of AusNOG IMHO as there
                    have been (and will be) many presentations you
                    won't see on youtube.

                    Cheers,

                    Terry

                         1. Income

                             1. August 2022 = ~ 300 Attendees
                                
<https://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2021/attendees>at
                                $600 per ticket (Average)
                                
<https://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2022/registration>

                             2. Total $180K
                             3. Sponsors = 'Nearly Half' → $90K

                         2. Who Done It And What Did They Offer ?

                             1. I'm just going to say everyone pays
                                equal but they probably don't
                             2. This will bias for the fact that it
                                could be any tiering and we don't
                                want to single out community members
                                who may be sponsors
                             3. So the 'sponsor income' could be 15K

                                 1. nice round number
                                 2. and its 'nearly half'

                         3. Streaming to to masses!

                             1. 50%  Cost for Streaming Ticket = $300
                             2. Total Streams = $15,000 / $300
                             3. That's only *50 tickets and it may
                                break even*

                                 1. 3 people said they'd be
                                    interested already.

                         4. This doesn't include:

                             1. Savings: Onsite Costs such as venue
                                hire, insurance, etc etc
                             2. Expenses: Bandwidth and Streaming
                                Costs🙄

                            against the income from copious live
                            streams (minus in-person overheads).

                            For an NOG we seem to be very offline 🤷‍♀️

                                At 500-600 dollars a ticket, I’d
                                like you to respect the financial
                                commitment I’ve made to gathering as
                                much merch from my industry peers as
                                I’d like.

                                This has historically always taken
                                place and given the small community
                                nature of NOG, something many of us
                                look forward to as part of the
                                experience, we like swapping our
                                merch with our friends. It saves
                                postage.

                                I would say this not only misses the
                                mark but is a continued slap of the
                                face to all those that pay good
                                money to attend the event in hopes
                                to meet with their industry peers
                                but more importantly /friends./

                                Afternoon all,

                                We've been contacted by one of the
                                sponsors of our conference in April
                                about companies who aren't sponsors
                                handing out promotional material, in
                                particular branded t-shirts etc.
                                While everyone likes getting a bag
                                full of free merch, we ask that
                                attendees respect the financial
                                commitment that our sponsors make
                                towards funding the conference. They
                                cover almost half the cost and in
                                return they get the right to promote
                                themselves to all of you who attend.

                                If you are not a sponsor please do
                                not distribute swag to delegates at
                                the conference.
