Note:
PGCon Brasil isn’t 100% sure about
funding, so there is no promise that the Brazilian PUG
will pay all the costs of the two selected speakers.
However, with the success of our first PGCon Brazil, is
is a reasonable expectation. We started this process
early in order to try to obtain funding. Any help in
contacting international sponsors will be appreciated.
