Costs

Regular attendance costs 100 Euro, and 80 Euros for students. Early birds only pay 80 Euros (if paid until 31st March 2007). There is also a voluntary business/sponsor tariff at 200 Euros, which is an easy way to sponsor YAPC::Europe 2007 and Perl in general.

You will not only get three days packed with interesting talks and people, but also a goodie bag, a conference t-shirt, an invitation to the attendees dinner and the unique opportunity to see renowned members of the Perl community with orange mohawks.

As YAPC::Europe is a community-driven conference, we're not in it for the profit. But should we make one, all money will be used for funding further Perl 5|6 development, future YAPC::Europes and for advancing Perl usage / the Perl community in Austria.
