What does the ticket cost go towards?kirstenclacey2021-08-18T18:14:16+02:00

What does the ticket cost go towards?

Our primary costs for this conference are software costs (for example website development). Once we have covered these costs, the speaker honorariums will be funded by the profits from the conference. Rather than offering a fixed speaker honorarium, we are doing an experiment: the profit derived from Unmute will be distributed among speakers.
