Subject: RE: [OSList] Fees for OS conferences?
Chuni – I think it depends totally on the client and the situation. When I do
something like an OSONOS I simply attempt to cover costs. Most recently with
the OSONOS by the Sea (well not that recently as that was 3 years ago) the fee
was $25. That paid for space and coffee/donuts. A local church provided the
space, and all meals and accommodations were handled by the individual
participants. Actually we ran a considerable surplus. So with the surplus, I
doubled the Church’s fee, as it was ridiculously low, and then sent $500 to the
Access Queen. However if we were talking about a major corporation holding a
serious working conference (2 ½ days) on a critical issue the money can and (I
think) should be equally serious. Of course it is all coming out of a common
corporate pot, but in a recent case I think it probably came out to $1500-2000
per participant. For whatever it is worth, I’ve never had an argument with
anybody in terms of the value
received. For the corporation the tab was probably close to $450,000, but
considering what they achieved, and compared to how much it could have cost had
they done it any other way (traditional committees over a year or two) – that
price was bargain basement LOW.
Any help?

Subject: [OSList] Fees for OS conferences?
Hello All,
I'd like to find out if anyone has charged the attendees for coming to the OS
convening.
If so, how do you do it? On what basis do you determine the fees?
Thank you.
