Event Information
How much does it cost to attend AusLUG?
Nothing, nada, zilch. FREE!
I can't make it for both days, can I register for one day only?
AusLUG is "only" a two day conference as it is, so accommodating one day registrations won't be possible without giving the organisers scheduling and logistics nightmares. You can manage to be away from your office for two days and we’ll make it worth your while!
I registered but now can't attend, can someone else come in my place?
First of all, let us know right away. We'd love to help and provided all our spaces and those on the waiting lists are accommodated we should be able to do something. But surely everyone you know are already registered for AusLUG now anyway, right?
No, seriously, how much of my hard earned money do you want to come to AusLUG?
Seriously - it's FREE! Our fantastic sponsors cover the cost of the whole thing so you dont have to.
