The 7th Plone Conference had an Early Bird registration fee of 150 EUR, and a normal price of 200 EUR. It is possible to register at the venue for 55,000 HUF. No Euro or credit cards can be accepted, however an ATM is available at the venue.

The program will follow the best Plone Conference traditions: it is accompanied by a training and a sprint, and for the first time, an Open Space track as well.

In addition, to make the conference more accessible for participants that need financial support to aid their trip, the Open Society Institute offered Participation Grants, total value of which was 40,000 USD, to cover parts of the expenses of conference attendants allowing about fifty people to attend who otherwise would not have been able to.
