Workshop Registration Tutorial

This page will detail the steps to follow to ensure you registered properly to the workshops held at BruCON.

Where to start?

The first thing to do is to go on the BruCON sched page located at: http://sched.brucon.org

Once you arrive on the webpage, you should see something similar to this:

In order for you to be able to register to a workshop, you will need a sched.org account.

To do so, click on the "Sign Up" button located on the top right corner of the webpage.

Note: The account you are about to create is on the sched.org website. This account is not affiliated or linked to the BruCON website.

If you already have a sched.org account, you will need to be logged in with it to be able to register to a Workshop.

Once logged in with your sched.org account, the webpage should look something like this:

Registering to a Workshop

The notable difference (a part from the "please login" message) is that little white circle next to each item.

If you click on the title of the item (in this example: "BruCON Workshop Registration Demo"). It will open a page with more details about this specific item:

To register to a workshop, click on the small white circle on the left of any of the items.

Once clicked, the white circle should change into a little black circle with a white checkmark, like this:

Congratulations ! You have succesfully registered yourself to a workshop.

Note: You can quickly check if you are registered to a workshop on the http://sched.brucon.org website, by looking at the icon on the left of each item name. Like this one:

Note2: You can also register by directly clicking on the little white circle on the left of an item from the main page.

How to cancel a registration

In order to cancel your registration to a workshop, click on the small black circle with the white checkmark in it.

Once it turned back into a white circle, this mean you have cancel your registration to the workshop.

Beware: Once you cancelled a registration, your position in the list of attendees/queu is lost /!\

What if the workshop is full?

If the maximum number of participant to a workshop have registered, you will still be able to register to the workshop. But, this will place you in a queu mechanism.

The queuing mechanism works just like the registrations: first come, first serve.

Meaning, that if you are the first in the queu, and then someone who was registered cancels his registration, you are automatically given the slot.

Note: The queuing mechanism is disabled until the date of the opening of the registrations to the workshops.

FAQ

• Do I need to have a sched.org account to register to workshops?

Yes. Has we are using the sched.org services to make our list of participant, and it is only possible to register to a workshop when logged in with your sched.org account.

• Do I need to have a sched.org account to assist to BruCON?

No. You do not need a sched.org account to come to BruCON. You'll be able to enter the conference and all the speaches without the need of a sched.org account. (for Workshops, see previous question)

• Can I register to more than one workshop?

Yes, you can.

Note: please make sure you register only to the workshops you intend to assist to.

• If I cancel my registration, can I re-register again later?

Yes, this is possible. However, as the registration is a first come, first serve; if you cancel you registration, you will loose your slot. If no slots are available when you register again, you will be placed in the queu in order of reservation.
