Both Sponsorship and attendance costs(flights, accommodation, transport) were higher than usual even for people in living in the EU.

If you add the recent terrorist attacks in city of Paris and other nearby countries you’ll get a better idea of the reasons attendance and participation was so low.

I was willing to both Sponsor and attend(me and my family) this year WCEU but all this made it impossible for me.

All in all this years WCEU in terms of cost for us seemed like an event not related with WP and its community, was way too expensive.
