Hey Deryck (and others with the same question),
Thanks for posing this. I can't give you any hard numbers to put down in
your application, as we're still in the planning stages for this Wikimania.
More info about the exact prices of Wikimania will be available when
registration goes live sometime in the late spring.
What I can tell you now is that registration costs will likely be similar
to Cape Town, but will be raised slightly due to Stockholm's more expensive
nature. As for the hotel, we will be offering a similar booking situation
as last year, where we partner with a hotel that provides a number of rooms
at a discounted rate when booked using a specific code or via a specific
link - those rates will likely be between 1250 and 1350 SEK a night.
Thanks much,
Irene Tait
