Q&A session for Ljubica Lazarevic and Austin Parker's talks
summary
Q&A surfaces what actually worked: quick experiments track 1,400 registrations with about 800 concurrent viewers as a healthy attendance ratio, plus earned media pickup (mentions in Vice and the New York Post). Success metrics emphasize submitters, live engagement, and long‑term view counts rather than vanity totals; tools used include Discord for active hallway chat and themed activities like Animal Crossing and a Hunger Games hackathon to boost participation. Goal setting moves to stretch targets such as a 10,000 registration goal and measuring post‑event “afterburn” (talk views, blog posts, and feedback).
