Frequently Asked Questions

All volunteers and speakers contribute pro bono. Before and during the conference, we welcome any donations.  

We are using PayPal Donations as a service to collect funds and pass them on to MEDICINE SAN FRONTIERS (Doctors without Borders) to help them bring urgent medical aid to Palestine.

Direct payments to MsF in your country are also welcome. Please submit the receipt to [email protected]. We will then send you the registration data.

After the event, we will transfer the money to MEDICINES SAN FRONTIERS and allow every donor to audit the process of payments. 

As much as you can afford and as the case is worth to you: Helping MSF (Médicines sans Frontierès, Doctors without Borders) bring help to the people in Palestine, especially the children.

This charity conference is not about us – we do it for people in a humanitarian emergency. Your support is deeply appreciated, and the more you give, the better we can support MSF’s aid to these people.

The costs for event logistics (e.g. the Zoom account) are covered by the PMI Sweden Chapter.

The costs for the website (domain, hosting, design) are covered by Oliver F. Lehmann and his not-for-profit think tank, the Project Business Foundation.

Find it here: https://www.msf.org/donate.

Then, email us a copy of the receipt. It should say that the help is paid for MEDICINE SAN FRONTIERS humanitarian aid program for Palestine.

For a donation of €500, we offer ten attendee seats. For every additional €50, you receive another seat (e.g. 20 seats for €1,000).
