Corporate registration is like "Professional registration only" for those who would like to support DebConf even more, perhaps by a company or university sponsoring the registration fee. The cost of this registration is 1000 €. This category will close once we run out of rooms to assign.



There is no automatic email confirmation, but you will receive an email confirmation before DebConf. If you close the registration page, and reopen it, you can verify your registration. Please do this and verify your data as our conference management system has been known to improperly save sometimes.

If you would like to make an additional donation to DebConf, follow the instructions at the the payments page. You may request an invoice for this, and the invoice can be written for either a donation, or a professional registration fee.

If you would like an invoice for any part of a fee or donation made, please mail registration@debconf.org with:

Names of attendee(s) and registration categories

Organisation and address to be invoiced

Whether you need a FFIS (Euro) or SPI (USD) invoice

List of payments/donations made and how you would like them recorded.

DebCamp

DebCamp is a smaller, less formal event than the main conference, giving an opportunity for group work on Debian projects. It will again be held in the week before DebConf, from Sunday-Saturday, 17th to 23rd July, 2011. In an effort to make DebCamp a little more organized we ask everyone who wants to attend DebCamp to fill in an additional text field describing their work plans for the Camp.

If you would like sponsorship for DebCamp, you must fill out a Debian-related workplan and the appropriate field.

Professional and Corporate attendees are charged their registration fee again for DebCamp (450€ / 1000€). For example, a professional attendee attending both DebCamp and DebConf would be charged 900 € total for the two weeks. If you would like to be sponsored for DebCamp instead, please mail us.

Travel sponsorship

We hope to obtain enough sponsorship to help some people attend who would not be able to pay for their own travel. We hope to allocate travel sponsorship money between April and June. We will make travel sponsorship reimbursements as soon as possible, but unfortunately, in the past this reimbursement has sometimes only been possible quite long after DebConf.

If you would like to apply for travel sponsorship, please fill in as much information as you can on the all registration pages. Even if you have not arranged your travel when you apply for sponsorship, we need to know which days you intend to spend at the conference. You apply for travel sponsorship on the "Travel" tab.

The deadline for sponsorship applications is 8th May, 2011.
