Interesting that many of us got this May 1.    That’s 12 days in advance

I assume that is just the folks historically invited to the in-person one? The only place I saw the link was here when Spiny posted it on 5/8. Stanford WBB twitter feed posted the invite for the first time yesterday, but I guess folks had to move fast if it closed today:

Again, great for them to open this up to those of us who aren't locals who can join the FBC, attend regular chalk talks, etc. Don't mean to look a gift horse in the mouth. Just odd the way they're handling this relative to the many many invites I've received from other parts of Stanford (as well as the other two universities to which I am affiliated) that are substituting zoom events for historically in-person alumni events. With all of those, an email confirmation is sent with the link to the event in the same confirmation so there's nothing else to do before the event starts, and registration available until it starts given that it's now a non-rivalrous good.
