That depends whether you rely on the conference for income. The net effect is, anyway, the same so this seems to be splitting hairs. In fact I meant that to achieve that same net revenues, each €1 given as a subsidy to one delegate must be charged to a paying user. In a conference with five tracks this could add 20-25% to the ticket price. regards Steve -- Steve Holden [email protected], Holden Web, LLC http://holdenweb.com/ Python classes (and much more) through the web http://oreillyschool.com/ Conferences and technical event management at http://theopenbastion.com/ Next: DjangoCon US Sep 6-8, Washington DC http://djangocon.us/
