LCC11 registration
Thanks for your interest in attending LCC11! This is the official registration form for both in-person and remote participants, and for LCC11 shirt orders.
You can change your answers at any time. Google should email you a copy of your response, and that email has a link to edit it. You should also see a special link that lets you edit your response after your form submission. If you lose the link, you can also just submit a new response with the same email.

Click submit at the end! You will see a confirmation page, and get an email from Google — if you don't, we didn't get anything.

Please don't forget to also pay!

How strongly do you want to go to each of the following?
0 = I will not go to this.
7 = I can't wait to go to this!

Note: you may have to scroll right to see all the scoring options, especially on mobile.

Potential group outings:
Please mind that these would take several hours. If you would prefer to not have a group outing during LCC days (April 11–13), and instead have more hours at U. Maryland, please score everything 0.

If you'd like to go somewhere before or after April 11–13, please discuss that with other attendees on the LCS Discord #lcc11-attendees channel. 

Please mark it 0 if you won't attend for whatever reason — e.g. if you're remote.
