So far, no “BarCamp” has ever charged — so if you can make up for the expense in sponsorships, you’ll be carrying forth a great tradition!
One way that we’ve offset costs in the past is to ask for people to sponsor certain parts of the event — like breakfast, lunch, markers and paper, etc… In that way you can offload responsibility for provisioning certain necessities and also better include folks in the event. This way you’re getting real participants instead of remote sponsors.
Anyway, great to see BarCamp come so far… down under!
