Thanks for keeping up with this week’s discussions. Remember, your contributions make our community a valuable resource for all event professionals.

We ran dynamic pricing for our spring summit and it only clicked after we set a hard ceiling and a ‘48-hour price-lock’ so buyers didn’t feel like they just bought airline tickets, @Nina. If your crowd skews community/nonprofit, a simple early-bird with a price-protection promise can still outperform the algo in trust and conversion.
