P.S.: if you coming, please register: perlkohacon.fi/Registration.html - we have the conference free, but registration is mandatory and we need to plan the things.

Social events REGISTRATION FORM for those who confirmed participation in such will be sent next week.

๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ›ฅ ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ›ฅ ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ›ฅ

Because social events are expensive, and the second one (Sea Cruise) requires some formal "insurance fee from visitors for not to skip the place", we are preparing a separate registration form for those who pre-registered for social events here https://www.lyyti.fi/reg/PerlKohaCon2023.

Next week (week 32), we will provide a separate confirmation form to your email, with some requirements and explanations. Also, there we'd like to ask if you'll be alone or with a partner/friend to know the exact number of people we'll be able to accommodate.

In case of questions - email us:
