I'd say tens of thousands from swiss donors should be possible.
This would need a coordinated effort for Debconf. It's not just what we
get every year without doing something, but raising money in the range
of 500.- € per donations on special occasions where we needed money
(BSPs) was possible without much effort. So I guess with more effort
tens of thousands for Debconf should be possible. 

Options to consider:

- The economic crisis has not yet hit Switzerland as hard as other
  European countries. I don't think that it has a big impact on the
  sponsoring behavior yet.
- There are many charitable trusts in Switzerland we could approach for
  sponsorship. For another much smaller conference I once got about 20'000.-
  from such a trust. But I might have been very lucky.
- We are well aware that fundrising in Switzerland would be one of our
  top priorites during 2012 if we are going to organize Debconf in
  Switzerland.
