Open Stack

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
