How much does it cost to organise a congrestival?

Question

Accepted Answer

A congrestival is more expensive than a standard conference because of the higher production value. The venue costs 30-40% of the budget. AV and production take 20-25%. Catering and food trucks account for 15-20%. Entertainment and décor cost 10-15%. Communication makes up 5-10% of the budget. For 500 attendees you should reckon on a total budget of 75,000 to 200,000 euros. The exact amount depends on the venue and production level. Sponsorship and ticketing help finance this.
