More about IAMCR:

€ Sorry, there is no French, Spanish or Portuguese language facilitation.

€ Travel grants can still be applied for (for people from medium and
low-income countries). The deadline is extended to Feb 15 (though the
website is not updated yet).

€ It is an academic conference, but the community communication section also
considers proposals from qualified practioners.

€ Unfortunately, the congress fees are rather high, though discounted for
younger academics and low-income countries.
