thank you for the info Andy!!
-
Good luck with sponsorship everyone! Please note the due dates. As always, I am not eligible to apply, so it's looking like I won't be going this year. Past conferences have cost me a small fortune and I just do not have the funds this time.
-
We're still in the run of getting everything worked out (someone else is doing that) Good luck to everyone!

wow...i don't believe there's finally a sponsorship program. I will give it a try although my chances are slim.. But i don't understand 1 of the requirements for this. It says that they want a Copy of my travelling final bookings or purchasing tickets.
Does it mean that i need to make airline booking first?
This also means that they will sponsor conference entrance fee and accommodations?
:huh

Nur: yes, airline booking required.
It depend whether they will sponsor for accommodation or conference registration, if everything is according to criteria then they might cover both :) - that's what am being told -
-
Yes Ayesha is right.
BUT I find it a mess! We weren't able to contact TIF yesterday. They sponsor up to 5 persons of an organisation. I have no idea how it works for individuals. I find it strange to hear that most of my Turkish friends will not have anything covered.
Keep posting about how it is going. Did you wrote their request form (names, birth, disease, motivation) too?

I will not be going. I certainly hope some of our members who are trying to go and should be assisted financially, will be able to go. However, when I see how little Ayesha's efforts to raise funds have been rewarded, I have to wonder about the give and take side of the world of thal. More and more, conferences are becoming a party for the privileged. Those who party are welcomed with open arms and sponsorship. Those who go to learn and to work? Not so much.

best ov luck to u all . . :) ...

We are in and a part has a sponsorship - including me. I honestly would be glad with a bed anywhere cheap so that more people were able to come. I mean why do we sit in the most luxery hotels as there are people who have not acess to a proper treatments? (Im in Kremlin)
I am sorry to hear you are not going, Andy. I would have been happy to meet you in person.
As for the ones who are going; we must exchange numbers or have a meeting point somewhere at some time. I arrive at 11th May.
