+We regret to inform you that, due to an overwhelming number of talk submissions and the time constraints, we were unable to include your submission for a <%= @event.event_type.name.mb_chars.downcase %> titled "<%= @event.title %>" in the main schedule.
 
 However, we have an alternative option available for you. If you're interested, you can present a condensed, 5-minute version of your talk during our Lightning Talks slot at the event venue. You can sign up for Lightning Talks in person during the event.
