+Starting 1 January 2025, a modest, localised event fee will be introduced. This
+will be used solely to ensure a sustainable model to pay for the underlying
+infrastructure that powers the DevOpsDays global community. Both the global
+organisation and local events themselves will continue to be volunteer-run, and
+none of these funds will be used to remunerate volunteers at any level.
+
+You can read more about the program in the event organisers
+guide: <https://devopsdays.org/organizing#sustainability-donation>
+
+The guide update includes a number of FAQs, but if you have additional questions,
+please get in touch via [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), 
+or reach out on the organiser Slack.
