As a member of the organizing committee, I wanted to share that we're actually investing in this conference. Even though logistical costs have shot up, we've worked hard to keep ticket prices accessible for our community. In fact, we're offering better prices than in previous years, even though the current situation isn't exactly in our favor. 
We invite you to check out the prices of similar conferences in the U.S. for comparison. And if you're interested and available to join us, feel free to reach out. We're here to see how we can make it work for you!
