Why are attendees required to purchase tickets for the conference?

As a registered NPO (Non Profit Organization), we rely heavily on the generosity of others for funding.  Ticket sales help to cover  a small percentage of costs.  Examples of expenses include the hire of event security, permits, traffic department regulations, sound systems, screens, agricultural equipment in order to mulch/ clear camping areas, water pipes, various building materials, laying water pipes, erecting fencing, materials for fencing, installation of septic tanks for permanent toilets, hiring of a stage, language translators and more.

We aim to improve and upgrade facilities for attendees as funding becomes available each year. These upgrades include projects such as the erection of permanent bathroom/toilet facilities which will save costs compared to hiring temporary facilities each year. We are also expanding the camping area, installing solar lighting and more. It is our heart's desire to remove the need to charge for tickets as soon as possible.

We hope to see you there! If you are planning to attend remember to bring sanitiser, a chair, hat, sunscreen and (as our event is hosted on a farm) some TICK REPELLENT such as 'Peaceful Sleep' which is quite effective.
