Financial Budget

---

Budgets assumptions 

Our plan is based on a conference in similar form as in Edinburgh, starting with meetings on Saturday and Sunday. Pre-conference workshops, committee meetings and seminars. The conference would then be from Monday through Thursday noon. Optional technical visit and excursions could be on Thursday afternoon and main technical excursion would be on Friday. Including in delegates fee will be admission to the conference programme, exhibition and get together event.

Gala dinner and technical excursions will be optional and are separate in the budget and not included in the general fee.

The budget is made in ISK but shown here in Euros, calculated at exchange rate as pr. August 10th 2015.
