Budget
To ensure financial transparency, we will use direct transparency and publicly document the income and expenses related to the EuPN Online Convergence.
Ticket payments will initially be processed through Stripe, PayPal and bank transfer.
What do we do with the ticket money?
The budget below represents our current planning. Some costs are unavoidable fixed expenses. These currently amount to approximately 400 € and will be the first costs covered through ticket sales.
The remaining income is used to compensate the people who contribute their time and work to making the Convergence possible, as well as to cover costs that depend on the scale and scope of the event.
Break-even point: With a projected total budget of 3.790 €, the Convergence reaches its break-even point at approximately 110 participants, assuming an average ticket revenue of 35 € per participant.
What happens if we sell more tickets?
Additional ticket funds will first be used to expand what we can offer.
If we reach 150 tickets sold, we will provide recordings of the sessions. Editing and managing around 20 session videos is currently budgeted at approximately 600 €.
Any remaining surplus will be kept as a reserve for EuPN and future Convergence activities. Actual revenue and expenses will be published transparently.
This is a proposed simple budget as of 09.09.2027. The budget is subject to change.
