  1. Will any of the talks from StanCon or the class sessions beforehand be available for viewing after the event? I was particularly interested in some of the class sessions, but will not be able to attend.

  2. Will you make available any recording of the talks a few weeks after the event? I would have loved to be there but unfortunately I won’t be able to make it due to a concurring event. Lots of interesting talks. Thanks for taking the effort to organise such event.
