Re: GUADEC registration site - design improvements

Hey,

What do you guys think about the idea of adding the option of social media
links (linkedin, twitter) at the time of registration so that people can
network a bit more before and after the conference? It was a suggestion
made by one of the new attendees at GUADEC 2016.

What do you guys think about something like that, and how hard would it be
to implement?

Best,
Nuritzi
