i can give you an idea then:

"""
if you -- nina -- come to the lgm, are active there and have meetings 
with the teams that produce animation software, we can certainly treat 
you as a developer, who is entitled for reimbursing!
you're also welcome to give a talk presenting your ideas!
"""

as a side note: we have never promised full reimbursement... even if all 
participants asking for it have always been fully reimbursed... with a 
huge delays, usually.
