I don't suppose you want a speaker to shout the virtues of AS-NS.net, and other alternative asexual communities? (Did I just ask that out loud?)

Thanks for signing up and the offer to drive/host people. As for the question, if it relates to the topic being discussed, there is no issue with a speaker or audience member mentioning other sites devoted to asexuality.

Question - I/we saw the schedule and it has lunch and tea in it - will there be anything gluten free?

Yep! When registering, there is a question where you should specify any dietary requirements you have, including gluten free. We'll do our best to accommodate any reasonable request we get.

I received the email with the schedule, I am not sure if I can stay the whole day but will it be ok if I stay up until lunchtime?

I'll let Mic butt in if I'm wrong but pretty sure that'd be OK. Pretty sure it's something like false imprisonment if we force you to stay there 😛

Sadly I'll have to withdraw from attending this.

Is there any plan to post videos of the sessions on the Net?

If it’s not too much trouble, I was wondering if it’s possible to get a sentence or two about the sessions? I’m having such a hard time choosing between some of the parallel ones!

All who registered - we sent an email on 25 June from "UK Asexuality conference" to everyone who registered before that date. We have found for some (but not most) people it went into their spam folder, presumably because asexuality was mentioned! Did you get your email or did it go to spam? Please let us know!

 

If it went to spam, please whitelist ukacecon2018@gmail.com and aven.pt@gmail.com (or check your spam folder regularly) in case we have further updates!

 

Cutie - yep you can stay till lunch! We do encourage everyone to stay for as long as possible, obviously, but we will understand if you have unavoidable commitments.

 

Allport - that's a shame but thanks for letting us know. Yes if possible we'll post some videos.

 

Catherine - we hope to release some more details at some point, but we'll explain the sessions on the day too so you can decide.

Is anyone planning to live tweet? And will there be a hashtag for the day?

That's a really good point. I did want to make a hashtag (even though I personally don't have a clue how to use twitter). How about #ukacecon2018?

 

I'll point our social media team at this in case they have any thoughts!

Looking forward to the conference! I'm an 'older' asexual lass who only recently had her enlightenment moment so I'm hoping to further my awareness and crucial to me, meet other Aces.

Sorry, in this heat, if I manage to survive the parade on Saturday, I certainly couldn't brave the bad transport on Sunday, so I'm going to call it quits for the conference. I'd get back so late and I've work early on Monday. Have a blast though.

That’s pretty much why I’m excited to go! I’m in my 30s and it took me ages to separate social expectations from who I really am and then to realise/find there was a community of similar people.
