One could also think of different training tracks, provided by different
people or companies.

In general I would think participating two days should be cheaper than

I recall from ApacheCon that you don't get a free registration when
you're participating in a training course. Perhaps a discount for early
registrations would be sufficient. For example, see

VAT laws in NL, by the way -- we should check out what that means for
us).
