Morgan Rogers (he/him) (Apr 02 2025 at 14:23):I just noticed that the submission deadline for CT is today, for anyone that might find that knowledge valuable..!
Morgan Rogers (he/him) (May 19 2025 at 11:08):Warning that registration for the conference officially closes at the end of the week.
James Deikun (May 19 2025 at 20:30):Are there any facilities for remote attendance? If so, they certainly aren't advertised on the conference website.
Valeria de Paiva (May 19 2025 at 20:50):hi James, I think John Bourke is the person to ask. I'm afraid I don't know
much about the local organization.
Valeria de Paiva (May 20 2025 at 14:44):Hi, I've contacted John and he says: we are not planning remote attendance.
We plan to make slides available after the conference, if the speaker is ok with that.
There hasn't been remote attendance at any CTs except the one during Covid.
Joe Moeller (May 20 2025 at 22:16):It would be cooler if it did allow remote attendance. It would be cool if future iterations allowed remote attendance.
Bryce Clarke (Jun 04 2025 at 06:38):I noticed the list of participants is now available. Approximately 190 people by my count. https://conference.math.muni.cz/ct2025/index.php?id=list-of-participants
Bryce Clarke (Jun 17 2025 at 05:04):It appears that the programme is now available too: https://conference.math.muni.cz/ct2025/data/uploads/book_of_abstracts.pdf

This seemed pretty high to me so I've gone back and checked: In 2016 and 2017 CT had 84 registered participants. That's a lot more!
Nathanael Arkor (Jun 17 2025 at 07:23):According to their websites, CT 2023 had 186, CT 2024 had 189, and CT 2025 will have 197, so it's on par for the last couple of years.
David Michael Roberts (Jun 17 2025 at 07:39):It helps being in a central location and not, for instance, in Sydney
David Michael Roberts (Jun 17 2025 at 10:12):Can we get an official encouragement from the organisers to use the hashtag #CT2025 on social media eg mastodon/BSky/etc ? cc @Valeria de Paiva ?

(and yet the most common question I've received lately is: "So when will you host a (A)CT in Australia?")
David Michael Roberts (Jun 17 2025 at 11:09):Well, it's been a few years since CT was here.
Valeria de Paiva (Jun 17 2025 at 13:09):hi @David Michael Roberts I sure can ask, but do we need to? I agree that using the hashtag #CT2025 on social media is a good thing, but I believe that Nicola and John couldn't care less.
David Michael Roberts (Jun 17 2025 at 13:24):Well, it's just an encouragement, not a stricture. There was at one point in time, and in some academic communities, a real habit of using conference hashtags on Twitter so people could follow along with live comments. Perhaps you recall sometimes places had a Twitter feed for the conference that was the live-updated search results for said hashtag.
Not everyone is on the same social media platform these days, it might help discoverability of discussion about talks and so on. It helps raise the profile of the field etc. Just some thoughts!
Ivan Di Liberti (Jun 17 2025 at 14:44):In the nlab page about the CTs, I think it would be nice if we would also record the number of participants.
