Budget for Pre-Conference Expenses
Even before the conference starts, there are already expenses that need to be budgeted. These expenses are as follows:
- The pay that the speakers for a conference must be in the priority in terms of budgeting. The entire outcome of your event will mainly depend on the speaker that you will get as a more credible speaker will most likely get more audiences. Included in this portion as well are the travel expenses of the speaker and, if the conference will be way too far from the speaker or will be held for more than a day, the accommodation expenses.
- The expenses of operations are also very important. People involved in the planning processes need money to go to different places to get supplies, talk to suppliers and other people needed in the event, and buying items that the conference will need.
- The materials and conference kits that each attendee will have is also essential for the budget planning.
