Payments and Donations for DebConf11
There are two organizations which can accept payment and donations for DebConf11, FFIS in the European Union and SPI in the United States. Either can be used to pay attendee fees. Other donations are encouraged, and can be paid via the same mechanisms.
Since we will be spending money in Euros, direct payment in Euros to FFIS will minimize bank and currency exchange fees for DebConf.
If you have any doubts regarding how much you need to pay, please mail registration@debconf.org.
FFIS - Germany (for EUR bank transfers)
FFIS can accept direct SWIFT bank transfers in euros from most European banks. When making a transfer, please indicate in the comment field that it is an attendee fee/donation for DebConf11 and the name(s) of the attendee(s).

SPI - USA (for USD credit-card transactions)

If paying via SPI, please pay 650 USD for professional and 1400 USD for corporate registration.
