Hey! As someone who has wokerd with the conference for the past 5-6 years, I can explain some of things. First, presenters having to pay more is complete crap, but it seems to be the standard, at least in Asia. Second, the website has been an issue for years. A pro has finally been brought in, but the bugs are still being wokerd out. It has been the cause of numerous lengthy fights at council meetings. Third, Sookdae can't handle our internet traffic being added to theirs for the conference, so there were "brown outs" on Saturday and the system shut down for a few hours Sunday morning. The worst thing, IMHO, was the room change. I planned to see your presentation, but couldn't find it. The rumor I heard was that Sookdae suddenly changed which rooms were available to us mid-conference, but that is just from one source. Each year, the conference committee tries to learn from previous mistakes...
