Frans, what you think about focusing regional, Vietnam, Singapore is not so far away? Join your forces and try to target them also. Let's try to raise the number of reachable visitors, as Japan did a one-day event with 1100 attendees, I guess 3-400 is a nice number for first time. You need to make channels to startups / government / enterprise / universities. And I suggest to start cross-promote the user group for example, in python, php, other cloud areas. Regarding the format, first time we did a single main track for the first part of the event, and separated that into two parallel afternoon tracks. For the second one we added a so called "workshop" room as an experiment, and asked people to feel free to bring their notebooks, and join into practical sessions. It is very important to bring in interesting topics and key speakers, well-known in ecosystem.

I think key to your query is the number of people helping in the organization of the event. Without volunteers and peers, it would be difficult to pull off multi-organ events. If it's the first event, I would suggest making it simple but with a focused agenda and highly targeted audience. That I believe is key on building the community.
My 2 cents :-)

Hi Frans,
We used to organise a yearly one-day event, called OpenStack CEE Day in Central Europe. The budget calculation really depends on you. If you know that visitors can afford a ticket, and you don't want to create a free event, you can share the costs between sponsors and attendees. So as I remember we had the following spendings for the event: - venue rental - wifi access - food / cafe - utilities: laptops / desks / projectors - badges - optionally vip room for speakers or a press room with drinks and snacks - promotion / marketing - rollup banners, etc.
The hardest thing is to estimate how much people can attend the event, and how much ticket you can give away (or sell). We applied a minimal fee for the tickets, because it is a Central European cultural behaviour if you pay for something, it have a higher chance to visit the event.
Cheers, Marton
