National Diploma Gathering 2014 |
Financial Viability of the National Diploma Gathering
Over the last 3 years, the National Diploma Gathering has effectively been subsidised by the Permaculture Association's LAND funding. This has enabled us to keep prices low, and last year, absorb a small loss.
Going forward, the Association can't afford to do this, so we need to be able to plan with more accuracy, draw more on volunteers to coordinate the event, and we may have to put prices up slightly.
As there's also a convergence this year, we're interested in whether it will impact on people's ability or willingness to come to the Diploma Gathering, and if so, should we book less accommodation/smaller conference rooms etc?
Please help us to plan this year's gathering by answering these questions as realistically as possible...
Thanks
