Thanks for sharing your thoughts - RE: Talks not being local, I agree with the comment below about livestreaming.

RE: email, we do have an email list. However, we really don't want to spam people, so instead of opting you into it automatically, we make it opt-in here: https://www.airbnb.com/techtalks.

It sounds like we may have err-ed too much on the side of being non-spammy, and this list is not very discoverable. I still don't want to automatically opt attendees in to the list, but given what you've said I think we'll pass around a signup sheet at the next tech talk.

Just make it super obvious after someone signs up. Put a huge button after signing up that says "Email me about future tech talks"
