[Victor de Boer @ VU]

Hi all,

thanks for the replies so far! Some more input from me:

- I cant find any rates for ESWC/ISWC (this or previous year), but other
online events I paid for last year (WebSci, Compass) were about 50 EUR (for
2 days).

- I think one important and difficult aspect is that we would like to
encourage people that are willing and able to come to Amsterdam to actually
do so, because a) we believe the physical interaction is an important
aspect of the conference and b) for financial reasons. This would mean that
the onsite tickets should not be unreasonably more expensive than online
tickets.
At the same time we of course also want to make the total audience as large
as possible so we that would like to keep online tickets cheap (or even
free).

best
Victor
