Squatconf if a tech conference that will hapend ... in a squat, hence the
name. it won't be a conference about squat or squatters, but will also talk
about technologies that can be used in squats.
On top of that, the name sounded nice, isn't it ?

It started because some of us are lucky enough to attend marvelous
conventions, made with love by amazing people. Great events with top-notch
speakers, incredible venues, and amazing parties.

These conferences are run with huge contributions from volunteers, and
financial support from sponsors, providing top-notch events at affordable
prices.

But even then, they're not affordable for everyone.

We're building an alternative model: SquatConf.

SquatConf won't be your everyday conference, but we'll have good talks from
amazing people. It'll be donation-based, and you'll get to contribute if
you want to.

How is this possible?

Conference costs are huge, and ticket prices are often nowhere near the
true per-attendee cost, even for a non-profit conference.

Fancy venues, transportation, hotels and food are really nice perks to
have, but…

If you hold a conference in a squat… the speakers advance their travel
expenses… tell people to bring some food… and the wifi will be dodgy for
sure…

You'll have a zero-cost conference made with love, but a little rougher
around the edges.
