The conference is unfortunately canceled

There will be no Fronteers Conference this year.

With a very heavy heart, we have to inform you that we aren't able to hold our 14th conference.

Despite a big marketing push in the last few weeks, we didn't manage to sell enough tickets to make it possible for us to hold this year's conference. The financial risk would have been too big.

For everyone who did buy a ticket: thank you so much for your support! We are very sorry that we can't keep our side of the deal. You will be refunded as soon as possible.

What this means for the future of the Fronteers Conference we don't know. If something changes we will definitely let you know.

Let’s look at ARIA, the good parts!
