Hi all,

glad so see something moving forward...

Please forgive my (possibly insufficient) BA skills, but I thought "to budget 
for something" (here an event) means to plan expenses for that event. Now 
planning is a strictly forward oriented activity, or at least I think so, or 
maybe I should say I think that's what it should be. And while being aware of 
the difference of theory and practice I'm slightly surprised to see the 
opposite (planning after the event) expressed so bluntly at this place. To me 
that removes quite possibly any meaning whatsoever from the term planing. Which 
makes me wonder if I have maybe understood something completely wrong?

Sure thing, but do you expect them to change after the conference, too?

Cheers,

Dinu
