title: React.js Conf Updates |

Yesterday, the call for presenters closed for [React.js Conf](http://conf.reactjs.com/) and we couldn't believe it, we got a **hundred proposals** and more than 600 people left their contact information to be notified when tickets would go on sale. This is incredible! |
|||
|
|||
But... |
|||
|
|||
When we organized the conference we decided to start small since it's the first one. We went for a single track, two-days conference, on Facebook campus. This means that we've got "only" 18 speaking slots and 200 attendees. |
|||
|
|||
Unfortunately, we're using the biggest room on campus and putting more people won't make for a very good experience. The spatial configuration also makes it hard to add a second track to accomodate for more speakers. Changing the venue only two months in advance is also going to prove very challenging. |
|||
|
|||
So... |
|||
|
|||
We took the very hard decision of keeping the current format. This means that from the hundred talks that were submitted, we're only going to be able to accept a tiny number :( For the attendees, we want to make sure that people have a fair shot at getting their tickets, so we're going to do three waves of ticket sales. Each of them is going to be first come first serve. **The price is set to $200 per ticket**. |
|||
|
|||
- Friday November 28th 2014 — Noon PST, first wave |
|||
- A week later, on Friday December 5th 2014 — Noon PST, second wave |
|||
- A week later, on Friday December 12th 2014 — Noon PST, third and last wave |
|||
|
|||
This is a very unfortunate situation but I hope that we can make the best out of it! |
