+                Every year, we offer a 15% Early-Bird discount for a limited window. This year, we were scheduled to open General registration at a rate of $450 starting from June 18th. But thanks to <a href="https://www.weka.io">support from WEKA</a>, we are able to keep the Early-Bird rate locked in. So the discounted rate of $382.50 is now the General rate for the remainder of the registration period. Thanks, WEKA!
