Oh, wow, that is really bad timing. Inviting them to SotM won't work either, as this involves a price tag.
Inviting them to the Mapathon on Thursday evening might work for some who live near to Brussels, if they're interested in mapping in general, but mapping routes/itineraries in a well mapped area is rather different from mapping buildings/roads in virgin territory.
