Cool Rs 1000 is good then. Just make sure to publish the schedule and the
selected workshops before opening the tickets to avoid conflicts and
refunds (a management headache). Also asking workshop authors to publish
Detailed abstracts / Intro videos / Slides must be a must so as to reduce
reluctance to register. Especially if the speaker is not that well known in
the community.
