It is worth noting that we didn't have as much of a registration rush
last year as we've typically had. If that trend continues, we'd have
to reassess. I'm hopeful that we'll sell out this year.

Yep, this will significantly change the S/V workload. We will still
need an S/V in every session to make sure the speaker is aware of how
much time they have left and remind speakers to repeat questions, just
like at CppCon.

This will help ensure that other S/V tasks, like helping Patty with
the breaks, go smoother. It'll also mean the S/Vs have more
availability to run between rooms to report problems, help speakers
get their laptops connected, etc.
