Here's a text version of the costs you list, more suitable for mailing
lists:

  Sponsored travel & accomodation
     ???                              -- 8,399.83
                                Total -- 8,399.83

  Coordination
     Quim travel and expenses         -- 1,500.00
     Volunteer team costs             -- 
                                Total -- 1,500.00

  Marketing materials & merchandising
                                Total --

  Petty cash
                                Total --

                          Grand Total -- 9,899.83

I only put the costs here because they are more interesting to me. It
seems that there are an adequate number of people interested in the
revenue side.

Of the categories you listed, one would hope that the first three
categories would be mostly decided by mid-April, and fully finished by a
couple weeks before the conference. Also how did you come up with the
travel number?

There are other categories though. For example,

  Facilities
     Payment to the university        -- ?
     Hiring a sound technician        -- ?
     (necessary if we rent sound equipment)
     Renting the tent                 -- ?
     Refreshments/catering            -- ?
     Renting sound equipment
     (especially for the tent)        -- ?
     Renting video camera(s)          -- ?
     Networking expenses              -- ?
     (speaking of which, how do we get network there?)
     Utilities                        -- ?

I would hazard a first guess at the facilities cost to be between 10 and
40 thousand euros. I could be way off though -- we'd have to do line
items to get a real number.
