We had a small hiccup with ticketing. It's been fixed. sorry for the confusion, and let us know if you're still having issues.

RBQ Conf tickets go on sale today at noon.

We’re opening Rare tickets a bit earlier and letting them run longer than usual, so folks can grab early pricing in the way that works best for them.

Hey @davearonson.bsky.social. We're currently committed to a free RBQ ticket, associated swag, and a speaker dinner before the conference. We understand the impact speakers have on a successful event, and if we are able we would like to do more. But we can't commit to anything else at the moment.
