I'm proud of this website for remembering to include the date of the conference. That was a great idea. Good job. If, however, I could include a small suggestion, some visitors might find it helpful to also be able to discover where on Earth (or whether it's online?) the conference is, whether there's a cost, and how one might acquire tickets.
> November 12th will be a day of delightful lightning talks by our amazing speakers. We’ll also have a comedy set and musical number. It’ll be a great time.
This cutesy, fluff, advertisement-style language sounds deeply unappealing. Am I just a grouch or is this a huge turn-off for anyone else?
It's a conference where people use a cutesy style to communicate about serious topics in a fun and light-hearted way. If it's deeply unappealing to you, you're not the intended audience.

I highly recommend it. It's historically been a bunch of random interesting geekery, that's very entertaining and educational in unexpected ways.
