Thank you! I was able to schedule a call for tomorrow and will try my best to half this number (no promises…). ;) > Saying that, until better numbers (reconfirmation period or new > commitment from sponsors) we cannot release further funds to > Daytrip, transportation for conference dinner, or any other > expense which was not already allocated in the approved budget. I have two further questions: 1. Let's assume I manage to substantially drive down the price for the conference dinner, can I safely assume that I can re-allocate a portion of those freed funds to conference dinner transportation? 2. Could you please elaborate a bit on what "better numbers" you are waiting for, what effects these would have on the budget and how much more money from sponsors we would need? > We still think the conference dinner is very expensive, Please allow me to offer a different perspective. I've made this point before in direct mails to the chairs but would like to share it with the rest of the team too: - DC13 conf dinner was 53 CHF pp. (50.95 €) incl. 1 btl. water/table and coffee&tea, but no drinks transport was "included" due to day trip - DC14 conf dinner was 39 USD pp. (34.50 €) incl. some games but no drinks no transport was provided So with a target of 35 € pp. incl. *all* drinks (5 € pp. contribution required to consume alcohol) and no transport included, the DC15 standard is in line with the two previous years.
