You bet, and thank you. Better to take feedback now than have regrets later. Would changing the name of the ticket to the name of one of the official groups (Women in Tech Ticket, or Girl Develop It Ticket) and did all same lanyards (no pink!), would that be enough in your opinion?

For me, it would be good enough.

Although, the idea in general doesn't sit too well with me since it's a little bit unfair for guys since they have less of a chance of getting in (and have to pay more).

But, I guess the priority ticketing system is an okay fix for possibly getting more women who are interested in angular to go to this conference. (If that is an important goal, which I guess it apparently is)

Cool, I think we'll start with that. Yeah, there's always the risk of "reverse discrimination" with any kind of effort like this. Will have to find the right balance. So far most of the early bird tickets (even more discounted) have gone to men just because of the current industry ratios, so I'm not too worried about them feeling bad.
