Conference registration before the deadline is just R2900 (ZAR) (~$372 USD); after June 20, registration is R3900 (~$500 USD). This covers the core 3.5 day conference, featuring academic, presentation and poster tracks, live demo theatre, plenaries, exhibition hall, wall-to-wall hands-on mini-workshops ('labs') and more! A fantastic Gala dinner at Moyo in Stellenbosch is an extra item that will be worth every cent. The early bird really does get the worm!
