I have already registered, but the fee is steep (1460MXN, ~100 USD), quite out-of-reach of
students and more than a few teachers here in Mexico.

The WMF has arranged for discounted rates with two hotels adjacent to the Hilton--- just
200 meters away. Delegates can book directly at these two hotels and receive special
rates.

* WMF and WM-MX are grateful to Conaculta and the Biblioteca Vasconcelos for their kind
offer to host the conference at the magnificent Biblioteca. However, due to logistical
issues, we had to change the venue to the Hilton Hotel La Reforma. We will continue to
work with both Conaculta and the Biblioteca Vasconcelos to leverage the experience and
capacity of all institutions to generate and disseminate content that guarantees free and
open knowledge to the whole of society.
