I'd like to make the point, once again, that we are supposed to be moving away from this system altogether :)
For months now we've been waiting for the 'new system' that completely removes this task from us. (In fact I've been waiting to submit my own conference while 6-7 have come through), just because I didn't want to add to a system that was on the verge of being removed. So I'll ask again. Can we get the new code pushed live that automatically does the conferences by Joind.in? As it's the 'end goal' anyway, it solves this issues mentioned here, and ... everyone has already said yes.
