No problem at all.

Did any of the September events this year have a remote panel?   I
wonder if we can share a remote panel with another university on
Saturday October 18 and maybe amend our schedule to accommodate it.

Wonderful.  I have updated the flyer to reflect this change:

How strongly do we want to encourage students to register for the
event vs entertaining walk-ins on the event day?  I wasn't sure if I
should say "registration required" on the flyer.

Let me get back to you on this.

Unfortunately I don't know yet if I would be back in time for the
event.  It all depends on when my VISA is approved which could be
tomorrow or it could be in a month.
