Early Bird Discounts are available on the first 165 tickets we sell, or until October 31, whichever comes first.

linux.conf.au 2017 is being held in Hobart, Tasmania from Monday 16 January through to Friday 20 January 2017. To find out more about our ticket options, please visit /attend and for accommodation options, visit /attend/accommodation

All our tickets provide access to all five days at the conference, and include complimentary morning and afternoon tea, as well as a fully catered lunch on each day of the conference. Our limited-edition linux.conf.au 2017 t-shirts are available until December 1, and we’ll include a free t-shirt with every ticket sold before then too.

Our Professional Tickets ($999 regular price, plus a $150 early bird discount) are our all-access pass: as well as your conference attendance and complimentary t-shirt, your ticket includes access to the exclusive Opening Reception and Networking Breakfast (this year’s PDNS) on Monday morning, and a free ticket to the conference’s signature Penguin Dinner on Wednesday night.

For those of you who want to support the community even more, our Fairy Penguin Sponsor ticket ($1999 regular, plus a $150 early bird discount) comes with all the benefits of a professional ticket, but we’ll also put your company’s logo on the conference website, and mention you during our conference plenary sessions.

For those of you attending out-of-pocket, we offer discounted tickets. Our Hobbyist ticket ($499 regular, plus a $100 early bird discount) is available to the general public and represents the best price that we can make available. Hobbyists can purchase a seat at the Penguin Dinner for an additional cost.

Our student ticket ($160 regular price only) is further discounted, for those who can provide a current student ID card on arrival at the conference. Our student tickets are offered below cost, as a form of investment in growing the next generation of the Free and Open Source Software community.

Additional tickets to the penguin dinner are available for $95 for adults; further t-shirts are available at $25 per shirt.
