corporate delegate). We have kept opening date as March 28, so that
those categories don't show up on registration page.

If you go to Registration ->  guest invite, you will be able to send
invite to respective people.

That mean we need to use the back office to send invitation to each guest. For all the speakers, I will use this process as they already confirmed to join and I have all their email addresses.

But for sponsors, it may not be that convenient. Since they will need to ask internally who will be joining. The process will be quite complicated: we will need one person inside the company to ask internally who will be joining, ask for their names / email address, we send them invitation, they have to confirm emails again in order to get a eticket. It will be duplication of process and work, any easier way? e.g. can we just send a link together with a code / password or anything? :)

Hi Lakhil,

Since Emily wanted to inviting Oracle India team soon, she also found it easier if we have a public link for whoever wanna join to just register, hence we will use a Google form to collect names / email addresses and then send invitation afterwards. This registration will not be public (but only to our sponsors).

If necessary, we can open another google form and use similar method to give free registrations to FOSS communities / schools. But it will better to use different form, so we can keep track of what kind of guests passes we will give them.

Please note :)

Besides, I would suggest not to limit any number of participants especially for our top three sponsors.

Thanks,
