News on the organization?
Hi all,
I would like to have some news on the organization of the LDAPCon. The deadline for talk submission will soon be here, maybe we need to send a message on social networks to remind it? (I can take care of that)
I do not see on the website any sponsor, is it planned to have some? I know some companies that would like to be involved in this event.
If you need help on any subject, please ask!
Clément.
As would I, please? Symas intends to sponsor and I haven’t yet seen any budget or sponsorship requests.
Cheers,
-Matt

Yes please - this seems like a good time to drum up some more interest.

What we need first is a budget. I know Kimball has recently moved house which is why we have not heard much from him, but it is time to make progress.
Kimball: could you circulate an outline of the budget please?
If you need help on any subject, please ask!
Yes - it would be useful to know how many people attended the event that you ran in Paris, how many of those were fee-paying delegates, how many were free (authors, organisers etc) and how many came under sponsorship deals.
Kimball again: the 2013 sponsorship page is here:

I join our work sheet, you will have all the information you need.

I also join the sponsoring file that we made.
Clément.
I am still waiting on information for the budget - expected numbers, choice of dinner venue and prices, choice of caterer and prices.
If I have missed these in email my apologies, please let me know.

I sent the caterer details a little while ago, I'll fish them out and send them again. I've been away so I've not had a chance to sort out a dinner venue yet.

Could you send this around please?
For reference I have extracted some numbers from the 2013 spreadsheet:
Total attending: 77 Of which Paid earlybird: 17 (€180) Paid full: 22 (€250) Paid student: 3 (€ 50) Sponsors: 16 Speakers: 18 Organiser: 1
Income: Fees: € 8155 (€8700 less EventBrite fees) Sponsors (7): €10000
TOTAL: €18155
Costs: Venue: € 5150 catering: € 5540 t-shirts: € 765 speaker travel: € 1834 speaker accom: € 1400 pre-conf food: € 220 conf dinner: € 904 other: € 430
TOTAL: €16243
In June 2013, £1 ~ €1.2 In June 2015, £1 ~ €1.4
I assume we will run the budget and event in UK Pounds.
I think we should be providing a reasonable lunch plus morning and afternoon tea/coffee - probably with the 'tray bakes' option or similar.
We need to set some sponsorship levels. 2013 had €1000, €2000, €3000 though nobody took up the top level. Using 2013 exchange rates that would have been £830, £1660, £2500. We could go for £750, £1500, £2000 or perhaps £800, £1200, £1800. Opinions?

One of our admin staff is organising the catering and is also going to gather together some ideas for the dinner. She reckons that catering will be approximately £15 per person per day (inc VAT) for:
Start of day: tea/coffee Mid-morning: tea/coffee + tray bakes Lunch: sandwiches, cakes Mid-afternoon: tea/coffee + tray bakes
We should be able to get a more accurate price fairly soon.
We're working on the dinner costing somewhere between £40 and £50 per delegate including wine for the tables. I guess the choice of the venue might be cost-dependent, knowing how much sponsorship we have available will be useful.

If the budget permits, we should present a viable vegetarian selection (i.e., something besides salad)
