Ticket types

Contributor

The Contributor ticket is designed for those who wish to attend linux.conf.au as a Professional delegate, as well as supporting the conference by contributing financially. In recognition of this support, Contributors have the option to get their logo and a link to their organisation published on the Contributors page.

Professional

The Professional ticket is the standard full inclusion conference ticket. This rate applies to most people who have their companies pay the conference fees, or for individuals who can otherwise afford to support the conference at this level.

We ask that you choose this ticket if your company is paying for you to attend.

Hobbyist

The Hobbyist rate is heavily discounted for open source enthusiasts who are paying out of their own pockets and would otherwise find it difficult to attend.

Student

This is a concession rate ticket that is reserved for High School, College, TAFE or University Students. linux.conf.au offers this rate as a form of investment in the future of the free and open source software community. As part of the registration process, a valid student ID card or proof of enrolment must be presented to the onsite registration desk. Any Student who cannot provide this will be required to register as a hobbyist by paying the difference in fees between the Student rate and the Hobbyist rate.

Volunteers

There are a limited number of Media Passes available to media personnel. Media Passes are free of charge, and entitle media personnel to attend linux.conf.au with all the entitlements of a Professional registration. Please note, due to the limited numbers of Media Passes available, all Media Passes will need to be approved by the organising team.
