[ORGA-SEMANTiCS-2021-EU] [Extern] Re: Re: Re: Re: Your input on ticketing

[Martin Kaltenböck]

Thanks Victor and all,

here is a nice example of a similar conference KGC21 taking place soon:
https://www.knowledgegraph.tech/#tickets
And its purely virtual...

Regarding the on-site tickets they are clearly far below the SEMANTiCS
ticket prices of previous years - whats exactly the ratio behind the
pricing - that there will less people this year, do we provide less talks,
catering, services, no workshops etc - many thanks for a short explanation
to understand better

We have to check this with the budget also as a next step - many thanks &
best regards from sunny Vienna and have a good weekend, Martin
