Hello fellow MarCons,
and the "normal" marketing project members ;-)
I'd like to share my impressions of CeBIT with you. [...] Unfortunately, CeBIT has a large drawback: It is fairly expensive. Like the last years, the nonprofit OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. paid for the booth and other costs, which had been more than 3.000 € in total.
Please forward our thanks to OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. (OOoDeV).
For the travelling and lodging costs of all booth personnel who requires it - about 8 people - I'd love to get funding from the marketing project. Costs are approximately 2.500 € (and thus a bit higher than last year), and I think it is a fair deal to divide costs between OOoDeV and the marketing budget. Having less people and thus less costs wouldn't be an option, due to the length of the trade show and the masses of visitors you need to deal with.
Funding 8 people would be about 320 Euro each. Even if not all of them might have been able to stay all the five days, I think this request is very reasonable regarding the numbers of visitors and the activities you mentioned.
So: +1 for the funding request.
I agree, that in total, CeBIT is very expensive, but for us, it has such an important marketing impact, that we shouldn't miss it. Being there is just a necessity
