Hello Tarek, thank you for your talk submissions and your question concerning registration.
Early Bird gives a discount. This discount is justified by two arguments: a) the organizers can make more safe assumptions about the number of participants b) the participant has to make his commitment without being sure about the talks. So she takes the risk that he dislikes the talks and in exchange gets a discount of around 37% for "normal payers" and 40% for students. > I have submited some talks, and might not be able to come > if none is accepted. In that case you are on the sunny side: speakers pay 120€ (normal fee assumed), no matter if early bird or not. So they still get a discount of 37%. This was especially made so that speakers who only can attend as speakers still get the benefit of early birding. Please also consider: Within those fees is no profit. This can happen because the EuroPython Society is a not-for-profit organization; with volunteers organizing this conference. Looking forward to see you in CERN in July!
