And the A/V seems quite low given (as noted in the bid) the generally high cost of doing video capture at professional quality over multiple tracks of a conference like this. I am please to see the discount registration fee is set above the fixed costs per delegate, but I do not see a student fee? They usually end up less than cost, so must be managed a little during registration (can?t have too many). The conference venue fee seems to include lunch, but not any morning/breakfast beverage service?

Essentially, a strong incentive to register early - We had two types of cheap tickets, "student" and also "community contributor". The first is self-explanatory, the second required a brief justification, but we didn't police it. - I agree with Paul that AV is important, and can be expensive, and that ensuring that recordings (and hybrid/broadcast) works well may cost extra - Some expenses are missing, for example, the dinner, the icebreaker, geochicas, b2b, any breakfast events (women in geo, for example). I think the budget needs more work. I would be happy to share our budget and actuals spreadsheets from Auckland, noting that our attendance was only 400, they should be still a good benchmark.
