I completely agree. It would be an exception to DC 24, and there is no
reason to have an extra workload. Leave a few days in advance only for
those who will assist in the infrastructure (video-team, FD).

Hi,
Probably this isn't a popular opinion, but If you're thinking to host
DebConf24, I suggest you don't organize 2 weeks of event (DebCamp +
DebConf).
Considering the shorter time, If I was you, I wouldn't organize DebCamp.
DebCamp is nice, it's great to have people earlier, but it's too much
work before the main event.
In 2019 we had 2 weeks, and because most of attendees arrived during
DebCamp, we had to deal with accomodation, food and venue for these 2
weeks. When DebConf itself started, I was exhausted and I felt I
couldn't join the main part of the event.
My sugesstion is: open the accomodation on Saturday, start the schedule
on Sunday, and finish it on next Saturday. And use the Sunday for people
leave the city, for tourism, or organize just a special lunch (we
organized a barbecue in Curitiba).
Organize 2 weeks of event with venue, accomodation and food isn't good
for your mental health :-)
Ps. If video team needs arrive earlier to set up everything, it's ok,
open a exception for them, and just for them.
Best regards,
Cheers
