- Calculation
- Jürgen Brandstätter: The price levels developed in the first meeting were based on the pricing of the IHE Symposium of 2018, which was 200 € for a one-day event
- -> about the double of that price was assumed for the designed 2-day event
- Samrend Saboor: the assumption of 150 participants might be realistic, but that the calculation should rather work with the lowest assumed participation
- -> the numbers were lowered from 150 participants to 100
- As a consequence the travel budget had to be lowered to 4000 € to get a zero balance
- Lapo Bertini: the presented pricing is much too high and should be based on an analysis of price levels of similar events. This event shall be seen as a "product", for which the market price has to be determined by a market survey (how much are people willing to pay for this)
- -> the pricing was lowered to 290 / 190 / 50 € (about the price level of this years symposium)
- As a consequence the balance gets negative by 12k EUE
- The group saw no chance to reduce costs sufficientlyn to get the balance to zero
- Even the travel budget has to remain, because we would be too limited in getting international keynote speakers
- -> Sponsorship would be needed
- Jürgen Brandstätter: The issues with the calculation are not related to the fact that we are discussing an "IHE World Summit". We are in fact discussing a financial problem which would be exactly the same, if not even worse, if we would just prepare an IHE EU Symposium
- The discussion had to be interrupted due to the end of the meeting
- Decision
- Due to time, no solution for the negative balance in the calculation could be found
- Decision: This result will be presented to the IHE EU SC on May 2nd for open discussion
- A quick market survey for price levels of compareable events will be researched as supporting material
Next meeting
