Hello metamorphic folk.

The number of registrations to our no-cost on-line thermodynamic modelling workshophttp://e-thermo-workshop-2021.petrochronology.org/, to be held Monday to Friday, May 10 to 14, 2021, was sudden and overwhelming. We passed the 250 limit less than four hours after the registration email was sent, and the wait list (as of 13:00 Calgary time on Tuesday) is now 282 (i.e., total of 532 registrants).

Not wanting to disadvantage those who received the registration announcement in different time zones, and wishing to allow as many to attend as possible, we have changed the workshop to a webinar format that allows us to host a maximum of 500 attendees.

However, there are still more potential registrants than spots for the "live" event. If any of the first 500 registrants unenroll in the coming weeks, spots in the live workshop will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. A separate message will be sent next week just to the first 500 registrants to begin this process, and we will add registrants as spots become available.

Even though some people on the waitlist may not end up being able to attend the live workshop, remember that registration means you will get access to the recorded lectures and discussions. So it's still worth signing up if you're interested.

To this end, registration to the waitlist will remain open until this Friday, March 12, 2021, 23:59 (Calgary time). Registration will be closed after that. This means that the original deadline to register (April 11, 2021) is no longer applicable.

Thanks for such a great response! We look forward to a terrific workshop!
