Is this normal?</h2> <p><strong>Most probably, yes</strong>. Indico stores user information at several levels. The changes in your profile and only propagated to <strong>events created after the change</strong>. You will have to notify a manager of the event in question if you would like your information to be updated therein.</p> <h3 id="why-is-it-done-this-way">Why is it done this way?</h3> <p>Because Indico tries to preserve data <strong>as it was when the event took place</strong>. If you spoke at a conference back in 2010 when you were at University X, you will most likely want to be listed on that event with that affiliation, and not the institute you now work for. Likewise, if you have two jobs, one at University X and another at Company Y and are listed as speaking on behalf of Company Y at a conference, you won't want that information to be overridden once you change your main affiliation.</p> <p>You can read more about how Indico manages user information <a href="../conferences/people/">here</a>.</p> <h2 id="id-like-to-use-indico-in-my-institution-do-i-have-to-pay-how-do-i-get-an-account">I'd like to use Indico in my institution.
