Funding possibilities: None at the moment. We are asking for around 200 eur as a conference fee per person
Additional funding concepts: We are working on that. As it stands at the moment none of the biggest firms/corparations in Iceland want to sponsor the conference. All have the same policy of not sponsoring political parties under any circumstances, apart from elections. Some smaller firms might be interested and if we get any money this way the conference fee will be lower.
