Eckard, it pains me to say, but it is probably sensible to cancel the reservations. We can blame various factors for the low turnout, but I think that in the end a conference such as this needs a minimum number of participants - not to mention lecturers! - to make it worth the considerable investment in time and money of everyone involved. I'm very sorry both for you, for the willing participants and for myself as well!
