Turning back the clock on fees

Mindful of skyrocketing conference fees, the WWW2010 local organizing committee has worked diligently to keep the Raleigh conference costs low. Registration fees this year are comparable or below past years (exchange rate fluctuations make precise year-to-year comparisons difficult with venues held outside the U.S.). As a matter of curiosity, looking back as far as WWW2002 (in Hawaii) and WWW6 (in Santa Clara in 1997), the registration fees for a 5-day pass were actually higher than current rates, with a discount for academics—a practice that ended in 2005.

Key factors in keeping down conference fees this year have been to avoid lock-in contracts with hotels, negotiate fair contracts with the conference center and management team, and to plan and budget carefully. Also, WWW2010 is going “Green” with a number of environmentally-friendly practices that help to reduce costs. Conference attendees will find Raleigh to be a relatively low cost metropolitan area of the country.

To keep your own costs low the organizing committee suggests attendees register early, secure economical air transportation, if needed, and book a room early with one of several conveniently located hotels that best suits your budget.

Collocated Conferences

Regarding the three collocated conferences, W4A2010, WebSci10 and FutureWeb, attendees should register early—space is limited in these venues.
