Talks will be mostly in English or Slovak. There might be a few talks in Czech. If you don't speak Slovak or Czech, don't worry, at least one of the tracks will always be in English.
Volunteers do speak English. In Slovakia, English is a compulsory foreign language in schools, so most of the attendees should speak English.
Tickets
What is the difference between self funded (individual rate) and full-price (corporate rate) ticket?
Both tickets are valid for full three conference days. Including everything mentioned on tickets page. Difference is if you pay for the ticket yourself or your employer (company). For those who pay for them selves we are trying to be more inclusive so anybody can afford the ticket. This way we are able to support teachers and students for whom the price might be too high.
Companies can add the tickets to their costs.
Currently, it is not possible to pay via PayPal without a Paypal account.
Therefore we accept also a wire transfer. This method, however, requires manual processing, which may lead to little delay. Please send us a list of tickets you are interested in, we will send you variable symbol and after we receive the payment, we will issue and send the requested tickets to you by email.
We also accept Bitcoin, Litecoin and (possibly) other crypto currencies. Please send us a list of tickets you are interested in, and currency you want to use and we'll send you a wallet address and once the payment is confirmed, we will issue and send the requested tickets to you by email.
