At #PyLadiesCon 2024, our volunteers did a lot of work such as: video production and editing, translation, and transcribing. Other conferences work AV team, but PyLadiesCon didn't. It was all volunteers and a lot of work.

This year, we're trying to ease volunteer overwork, so we contacted AV vendor, asked what it would cost them to do all of this.
One vendor said 8K - 13K USD 😵

Moral of the story:
- Say thanks to volunteers.
- Sponsor conferences.
The end.
