Each person we have at the event costs the Indaba𝕏 ~R5000. Considering we have 400 people, this is a lot of money. We are very grateful to our partners for making this possible.
As a community-orientated event, we are committed to making the Indaba𝕏 as accessible as possible. We have a number of travel grants available to help people attend the Indaba𝕏. These are allocated at application time. See /register/travel-grants/ for more.
We have a limited number of travel grants that have awarded to applicants. These are allocated at application time. See /register/travel-grants/ for more.
One of the hardest decisions we make is allocating finite resources to infinite passion. We wish we could fund everyone, but we can’t. We are very grateful to our partners for making any of this possible.
If you need funding to attend, but did not get one this year, the best thing you can do is to apply again next year. We will be around and rotating the event across our beautiful country, and we will be trying our best to make the Indaba𝕏 as accessible as possible.
If you are an organisation, consider partnering with us to gain more visibility and support the Indaba𝕏. If you are an individual, attending through paid registration options is also beneficial. If you are feeling particularly benevolent, consider donating.
Additionally, consider helping organise the event, volunteering at the event, shouting about the event, or just being a good human being.
