A Conference Ticket for Everyone

Tickets are sold on a pay-what-you-can basis, because we want the conference to be accessible to everyone – independently of your financial background. If you can pay the general conference cost of 300-500 USD, you are also contributing to the conference travel fund that enables people with fewer means to come. If you can give 1 USD, that is fine, too! Get your ticket here.

If you live or work in the Chemnitz region, you can select a free ticket, offered by the City of Culture. For that, please register here.

You need a credit card or PayPal account to buy a ticket. If you do not have access to one, or otherwise need support to register, please write to buildpeace@howtobuildup.org

More to come…

We’ll soon be sharing more updates and announcements on the program, speakers, travel logistics, and more. Stay up to date by registering for the conference today or subscribing to our newsletter in the meantime.
