Work out conference travel budget instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Conference costs are dominated by the items people forget. Registration of 650 plus 780 of flights, four nights at 145 and subsistence at 45 a day plus 80 of local transport totals 2290 - about 573 a day. Registration and flights are only 62% of it, which is why budgets built on those two alone always fall short.
