Evenings

There are six evenings.

• Sun: early registration, pre-conf event
• Mon: ?
• Tue:
  • Speakers' Dinner
  • (alt events for non-speakers)
• Wed: Penguin Dinner - for everyone!
• Thu:
  • Professional Networking
  • optional (cheap) hobby/student event.
    • This can be as simple as 'hey, everyone come to this pub', and organising with that pub for slightly cheaper drinks, assuming >= 100 people.
    • Possibly called the "Amateur / Student Networking Event"? :-)
• Fri: Party party.
• Sat evening - the conf is over, so nothing (unless we want a dead penguin party...)
  • Recovery party for the organisers? Let your hair down, Sunday morning isn't too much of an issue. It seems to be semi-traditional to have a BBQ for organisers, and speakers and whoever else, at someone's house. For obvious reasons, numbers can't be too big here, though. OTOH, if a BYO BBQ is held along the Yarra or at another public BBQ venue, this is less of an issue.
