BUDGET
Approx. costs of the conference: ca, 4,5 million isk, about 30.000 eur
Funding possibilities: None at the moment. We are asking for around 200 eur as a conference fee per person
Additional funding concepts: We are working on that. As it stands at the moment none of the biggest firms/corparations in Iceland want to sponsor the conference. All have the same policy of not sponsoring political parties under any circumstances, apart from elections. Some smaller firms might be interested and if we get any money this way the conference fee will be lower.
ACCOMMODATION
Approx. number of hostels/hotels near venue: Over 30
Approx. costs for accommodation for 2-3 days:We are asking Icelandair to put together an offer for all that come. It includes flights from Kastrup in Copenhagen to Reykjavík and back. Plus hotelrooms for two nights near the venue that is 10.-12. Apríl. The cost will propably be around 600 to 700 eur per person.
Approx. living costs in the city of the venue for the time of the conference: At the moment lunch is about 20 eur, dinner is about 40 eur, a cup of coffe abour 3 eur, a pint af beer is about 6 eur. Hotels and hostels costs from 100 eur a night and upwards. A good hotel will cost about 150-200 eur a night.
Thomas: first we should clarify that PPI is an NGO and not a political party.
Stathis: Is there a case of funding by the Icelandic Parliament?
Gregory: we would need 150 People to pay that costs. Are there any other venues in Reykjavik for ~200 people?
Bastian: we would need a sponsorship from some millionaire... it sounds like a wish.

Gregory: Question - what is the total estimated cost? Why is the rental cost of the tables that high? Is external catering possible at the venue? Can we look for alternative provider to rent the furniture?
Bastian: I do not like the splitting of the costs - we do not need some of the costs, like streaming equipment, as we can provide this for free, we just need the room and internet. I think that this offer is overdressed and is impossible to fulfill without the sponsor support.
Tomasz: We could help with some of the equipment, as i think the rent is a little to high.

"""PDF attached to the email to be uploaded!!!
Alessandro: We have a lot of suitable places in milan and we had a hard time to select one. We will have the Expo next year, and we want to host the PPI GA right before the beginnig of it. There will be a lot of events and press spread out around the city and we could profit from it.
We are proposing the biggest venue, you possibly could organize a rock concert there - to be on the safe side. We would like to organize -not a woodstock meeting - but some big event to spent there a whole day "hackaton"-style.

In the Budget of 2000 Euro everything is included but the food (because we still waiting for an offer for catering). Last year we have organized a gatering for PP-IT and 10-15 € was enough for catering for a day, so we can assume this sum.

Gregory: with all that space (over 3200 sqm) we could accommodate up to 2000 people - is the furniture included in that case? - Answer: we might do something about additional chairs, but basically yes, everything is included.
Gregory: What about accoustics - for such a big room it could be challenging. is PA included in the rent of the hall, or do we need to plan this specially? - Answer: The microphones are included. We will have about 30 people working on the event and we would like to check everything beforehand to be working, and we will provide what is missing on our own account.
Tomasz: What about transportation from other countries? Answer: We are having three international airports in Milan - Linate and Malpensa and Bergamo Orio Al Serio - there is public transportation to the venue (two metro stations) so there should be no need for a taxi. Another important point to remember - the venue is surrounded by inexpensive hotels and eateries.
