Adopt-a-ticket

• We are dedicated to running the Travel Grant Program (TGP) - a way to facilitate accessibility and diversity in the event. In addition to a monetary grant for grantees' travel and accommodation expenses handled in cooperation with OSGeo, the LOC will grant free access to the conference main days plus one workshop of choice for all Travel Grant receivers.
• The LOC understands that preparing and conducting an educative and successful workshop takes quite some effort and time. This is the reason we are giving away free tickets to all workshop instructors.

We do this because we believe this is the right thing to do.

But this also means that the conference will miss out on some of the income funds although we still need to cover the related expenses (lunches, coffee breaks, etc). This is where we would appreciate your help. Instead of increasing the ticket cost for all we chose to allow you to make a conscious choice.

When registering for the conference, you can choose between any of the add-ons: a t-shirt, a mug, workshop tickets and so on. One of the add-ons there is called 'Adopt-a-ticket', your chance to help us raise extra funds to do the right thing.

We see it equally as an opportunity for smaller organizations and individuals who would like to support the conference but for whom the existing sponsorship levels are too expensive.
