Xi'an's Og

This morning I received a message from the MCM 23 conference organisers that my registration [submitted two months ago] was declined for lack of room! I wonder why the organisers did not opt for broadcasting in a second amphitheater, as was done for ISBA in Edinburgh.

Unfortunately, we have attained the maximal capacity of the amphitheater where the plenary talks will take place (this is the largest amphitheater that one can rent on the Jussieu campus). This amphitheater capacity was significantly larger than the number of attendees of previous MCM conferences. We feel really sorry that we can’t confirm your registration to MCM2023.

Which is pretty frustrating given that the program is of the highest standards and that many friends, coauthors, students, of mine’s are giving talks there. Being a local I’ll try to gatecrash some talks, of course, but I would not bet on my chances, unless I can borrow a badge!
