Expenses[]
Unless otherwise specifically arranged, which is expected as the event planning comes together, the event budget will not provide payment for labor or any out-of-pocket costs. All expenses will be born by individual contributors or other supporting organizations.
As the event business plan comes together, it is expected that expenses will be shifted to the event's budget. Until then, any expenses you bear should be considered a contribution to the event’s success.
