Great…maybe it is better we just put everything into the wiki so we can update it without interrupting you.

I don't know how you usually organize yourself from inside, and this are just some examples…

Once we open the registration form and as soon as the people proceed to register to the Conference, we will modify their profile from regular attendee (that should pay a the fee for attending the conference) to "guest" attendees.

Yes just be careful sometimes we get ~50 attendees at the hackfest. I think mainly that the workshop presenters of workshops should be given free attendance - for others attending the hackfest I guess they should pay if they want to attend the conference too. If they attend only the hackfest there should be no fee for them (since they are donating their time already to work on QGIS).

Could I just check if you already provided something? Sorry if I missed it in my overflowing inbox. It would be great to update the wiki with more details. I see the page has been added to, but I wonder if we could add some info about transportation options.

Yes a few of us like running so that would be cool!

Is there anything else we can help with? Lene has kindly offered to help in organising the  QGIS user conference part - have you already been in / had contact from her?
