I'm sorry to say, but it's already sold out. I was really looking forward to that conference. I kept looking for it, to register, since December. Then, in January, forgot to check for one week, and precisely then it became available and sold out.
Hugo,
Last I checked there were tickets available (Feb 12). They released more tickets, as they apparently found a larger space.
Cheers!
