Affordability commitment

Affordability is a core part of our approach to access and inclusion.

Our approach and principles

We believe great ideas should never be locked behind a paywall. Our pricing model was created to keep participation open, fair, and within reach for everyone. It reflects the same values that guide our sustainability and accessibility commitments.

We treat affordability as an ethical design principle. It’s not a marketing tactic, but a conscious choice to dismantle barriers and redefine how value and inclusion coexist in our industry.

The audience, seated on wooden benches in a modern space with geometric architecture, includes diverse individuals who are attentively watching and smiling.
Radical transparency

Our pricing is clear, published, and all-inclusive. Every attendee receives the same access and experience. There are no hidden fees, tiers, or preferential packages.

Accessibility through affordability

We keep our prices intentionally lower than comparable events to ensure participation remains possible for individuals, teams, and organisations of every size. Our aim is to make The Outlook the most accessible event in its class.

Five percent free

Five per cent of everything we do, including tickets, workshops, and programs, is offered free of charge. We ask no questions and place no conditions. This guarantees that anyone who wants to join can do so.

Open access to knowledge

Every talk and presentation is later made freely available on YouTube. We believe that the ideas shared at The Outlook should live beyond the ticketed event, contributing to a global exchange of knowledge.

It's why we're different

The Outlook stands apart because no other organisation of our kind approaches cost, access, and inclusion as we do. 

Our model is built on openness, equity, and respect for the audience we serve. We are proud to challenge industry convention and redefine value, not by charging more, but by making more possible for everyone.
