The per person, per day fee is: Early Bird rate (until 31 Jul): EUR 92 (EUR 110 with VAT) Standard rate (until 30 Sep): EUR 135 (EUR 160 with VAT) Late/on-site rate (starting 1 Oct): EUR 170 (EUR 205 with VAT) This year we are creating an Invited Expert Fund to help support Invited Experts who participate actively in W3C groups and who request financial support to attend TPAC.
