Will there be wifi?
Yes, the venue supplies wifi (called OrangeCon with password "Thepasswordissecret"). But keep in mind it's not our own so please secure your connections yourself. Also you don't have permission to test the network :-)
Do you supply power?
Yes for training, limited at the conference (only workshop area's do). In the Netherlands, power plugs and sockets (outlets) of type C and type F are used. The standard voltage is 230 V at a frequency of 50 Hz. Please bring your own travel adapters if necessary
Is OrangeCon a non-profit organization?
Yes, OrangeCon is organised by Stichting OCON (a non-profit foundation). This means that all the money goes back to the goal of the foundation. Our businessmodel is simple: we earn some money on the trainings, sponsors and tickets. This makes it possible to pay for the costs like the venue, trainers, etc. We might plan for an ANBI status and create a transparency report post conference.
