In any case, it'd make sense to present the price in €, since it's the
currency of the country and probably of most attendees. Last year we
had to raise the price to USD 300, because of the currency exchange
movements.

I think that nobody has yet decided if Prof. attendees will be hosted
in the same lodgings or not. From my point of view, it would be
better if they were to be at a hotel, because: 1) otherwise we _might_
run out of space for sponsored people, 2) the quality that one expects
when paying for the room is not the same.
