Some people are asking...I should note that we organizers are wearing masks! We just took our picture without masks, outside, before we headed to the venue!

@karen Great to see the organisers of a conference committing to wearing masks and leading by example.

Too many organisers say "masks are strongly recommended", then contradict their own advice by not wearing them.

However, why not make it safer for everyone by requiring masks for attendees like you did last year? Please reconsider your policy for next year, so more of us can attend safely.
