I would argue the opposite: feel free to comment and question thereby giving potential participants a chance to form an educated opinion before deciding to sign up for the event.

This is a very weird situation...two separate Chicago Seminars on the same weekend.

Stefan, your inclusion of me for your competing event is wrong and unacceptable. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that your inclusion of me as a speaker on Facebook, FlyerTalk, and other modes of publicity was merely an oversight. Please issue a public correction, as your message could mislead people into believing I will be there. Please let me know when you have made the correction.

Thanks,
Marty

Stefan was aware of this fact before publishing this post, yet he still included us.

I thought flat out fraud was the whole point of travel blogging credit card shilling.

Thank you for spotting that and alerting me. I have an inquiry to the hotel. It should be fixed on July 5.

I updated to this new thread last night based on speakers that had either responded to re-confirm or had not as yet responded with a new decline to the registration email. I do not assume speakers are not speaking unless they notify me directly. Down the thread it appears two speakers are using this forum as their response, so I am noting it as such and removing them from the list.

See my other replies. The process is a speaker previously confirmed for an event that is dropping out tell me directly, which two speakers did not do. I do not remove people based on assumptions.

Marty,

You have been removed from the event, per your request. Perhaps 2024 will be brighter and have you back.

Regards,

Stefan

I take this as your notification that you will not be speaking and have removed you and Katie from the event.

Indeed it is. Maybe by 2024 we will go full multiverse. Two flavors to choose from for 2023.
