I run a corporate sponsored meetup and the $2 fee is a non starter. My budget is for the venue, stickers and beers, this would increase the cost of every meetup by 50% providing nothing in return.
Edit: After reading a bit more about it, the cost is to the users, not organizers, which makes even less sense. Why would anyone ever RSVP instead of just showing up?
- x0x0 7y agoThis is a serious question -- you really can do a venue, stickers, beers, and other stuff for $4 pp? Because I am struggling to see how that works. My rough guess from having thrown events would be $14 pp for decent food, beers and some nicer-than-soda non-alcoholic alternatives, etc.
- mdda 7y agoThe venue should be available for free if your meetup is attractive to people that could be potential employees of the hosts. And why do you feel the need to give people free food and drinks? Reframe the issue : Everyone who attends should be motivated to come to the event for the content, rather than free food on their way home.
