Since AI for People is a non-profit organization, we entirely depend on funding and sponsors. This first conference is, like most conferences, an expensive event. Costs for the virtual space, publications and advertisement are the biggest points on the budget list. All of our organizers are working voluntarily next to their studies and jobs in order to make this a special event.
In the spirit of AI for People, we do not demand a registration fee and we do not want to exclude any person, because they might not be able to afford participation.
The main costs will be covered by our generous sponsors, but we would appreciate any help. That being said, we think that a donation of 15€ would be reasonable. As a non-profit, we cannot provide any service in return for financial donations, consequently we cannot guarantee a spot at the conference in case you fail to confirm your attendance or unexpected circumstances hinder the planned event. As far as the registration process is concerned, the donation will not / shall not matter, but we will be tremendously grateful for your support.
