TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

• [00:55] It costs roughly $20-30 a head to do an event the right way.
• [01:25] Since we’re not charging for the event, we aren’t making money.
• [01:40] People say if you charge, 40-50% of attendees will not show up.
• [01:50] People will pay and then no-show.
• [02:57] Sponsors are how you can make a profit.
• [03:50] Either ticket sales or sponsors will cover your costs.
• [04:15] Our goal isn’t to make money.
• [05:02] Clarion is an events company that goes around buying up conferences.
