Conference fee

ESP conference organisation puts great effort into making the conference affordable to a wide audience. We try to keep the registration fee as low as possible and take membership status and income level into account. 

*All fees are listed in US Dollar, these are the benchmark fees. However, through the system fees need to be charged in EURO. The conversion rate is 1 USD-0,85 EURO (14 June 2018). To come to this rate, we have used the average conversion rate of the 30 days prior to 14 June. If there will be any very large fluctuations in this average rate coming months we will adapt the rate. This will be evaluated on a monthly bases.

**The Early Bird fee is only applicable until September 10 2018, 17:00 CET

*** Due to the significant drop (around 10%) of the value of the Brasilian Real in the period from June to September, the ESP COC has decided to make the Normal fee 10% higher than the Early Bird fee, instead of 20% previously budgeted for.

The fee includes entry to all conference sessions, coffee breaks, welcome drink and lunch on 23/24/25 October. The conference dinner, training and excursion are charged separately. Travel costs, training sessions, accommodation, and administration and transaction costs are not included in the above listed conference fees. Please read our registration and cancellation policy for more information.
