Yes. Strange Loop is currently about 1/3 sold. It will sell out, but right now I think it will be after the CFP ends. If it gets tight before the CFP closes, I plan to suspend registration and give unaccepted speakers a chance to register. If you register now and get accepted, then I will refund the cost.
