Training at Kiwicon has a twist; there's some for-pay training classes available on Tuesday 9th, and the same (or similar) training is available for free on Wednesday 10th. Why would you pay for something that you can get for free? Well, consider the abridged Kiwicon Code Of Conduct:
"Don't be a shitweasel"
If you work in the industry, or your work is paying for you to be at the Con, or if you have some other kind of fat cash paying gig, then we think it'd be swell of you to pay your way, and leave the free classes for those who can't afford it. In particular, we'll give priority to those with student tickets or jobs outside the relatively-well paid IT sector. If you try and sign up for the free classes from your fancy-pants dr.contractor.mr.the.plague.sir@fatcash.govt.nz, you're a jerk.
Kiwicon's about sharing the knowledge, so by paying your way, you're helping those who cant yet afford to.
UPDATED 15 Oct 2014: Note that training venues and times are still being arranged. The day won't change, but the times are unconfirmed at present.
