I’m told there is funding to partially reimburse flight and accommodation, and that the WECC event expects 2000 participants and even an appearance by a Japanese royal family member at the opening ceremony.
If you’re interested and able, can you please get in touch with me immediately so that I can connect you with the organizers? There is a wealth of UMA outreach material available to build on, such as our webinar slides, to help you in preparing materials, and I’m happy to offer assistance.
