Is there a list of accepted talks already that organizers could share? When the agenda will be released? I would like to organize my schedule to attend to interesting talks.

Iām just going to be watching some talks, with little time for anything else.
Is it necessary/desirable to sign up for tickets anyway, or will the talks be published on YouTube relatively quickly?

The main benefit of signing up will be the ability to interact during the conference. Ask questions to the speakers, join birds-of-feather sessions etc. If you donāt want to do that, you donāt technically need to register.
However, I would still encourage everyone to register. It allows us to count viewership/participation much better, and calibrate the resources we need need to plan for.
There will be some (digital) goodies available exclusively for ticket holders, and they will also get the ability to purchase some exclusive swag.

I was pretty excited for some talksā¦ ā¦to then realise that all those I am interested to are 10 minutes talksā¦ :-/
I understand that online one got bored soon, but 10 min are 10 minā¦ reading a blog post on internetā¦

Many talks have been lightnings talks in the physical JuliaConās as well. I donāt know if there are more this year, but usually a fair number are. When you submit your talk you get to choose if you want to submit it as a normal talk or a lightning talk.
Itās just a huge operation. With ~40 talks, we then only are able to accept half of the applications to JuliaCon with the majority being 10 minute lightning talks. If we go to like ~60 talks, weād be looking at a 20% acceptance rate. Or if lightning talks are 20 minutes, weāre at a Harvard-like acceptance rate.
Iāve been thinking about adding a 4th track in future years, but that has its own issues because now people can see less (though there are videos) and, more importantly when on location, we need a 4th concurrent big room which limits the venues we can use.
JuliaCon isnāt āhotel conferenceā sized yet, so we have to fit it into the constraints of what a university gives us. That said, in the next year, given our growth, it could certainly change.
