For the free places, we give precedence to those submitting a contribution. If you would like to attend without a contribution that is possible. Note the costs for the event. An invoice will be sent to you after your registration via the Application Form.

Cost

We have 25 places that are free*. If sponsorship allows we may increase this number. However, we will need to be mindful of the logistics (tutorials, labs, and catering) so we will have to keep the number manageable. So we might ask non-free participants for a reasonable fee.

We would consider more favorably those applicants who submit posters and lightning talks. For any questions please email us.
