A slide from my #NBPy closing. Running a community conference for cheap is a difficult slog. Our cheaper tickets are offered as close to the margin as we can possibly afford. Unless something changes on the sponsor/donation side, this is going to be difficult to catch up.

A slide, with a vibrant blue and green background, which reads:

Sponsorship and where It goes:

$594 down on last year (mostly down to $3,500 less in sponsorship; sold 4 comfy chairs).
Cost per head: $351.
Cost per head, after sponsorship: $176 .
Enthusiast ticket fee: $200

What's on our nice-to-have list? Childcare. Financial aid. Better transport options to the ranch from Petaluma and further afield. Student outreach.

All things that have far longer lead times than when our money comes in.

I have some solutions in mind, but I wish it weren't quite so much. #NBPy
