[EuroPython] Registration question

[Harald Armin Massa]

Hello Tarek,

thank you for your talk submissions and your question concerning registration.

Early Bird gives a discount. This discount is justified by two arguments:

a) the organizers can make more safe assumptions about the number of
participants
b) the participant has to make his commitment without being sure about
the talks.

So she takes the risk that he dislikes the talks and in exchange gets
a discount of around 37% for "normal payers" and 40% for students.

In that case you are on the sunny side: speakers pay 120€ (normal fee
assumed), no matter if early bird or not. So they still get a discount
of 37%. This was especially made so that speakers who only can attend
as speakers still get the benefit of early birding.

Please also consider: Within those fees is no profit. This can happen
because the EuroPython Society is a not-for-profit organization; with
volunteers organizing this conference.

Looking forward to see you in CERN in July!

Best wishes,

Harald
