- Misc (phone, tips, supplies, etc...) - $5-$30 depending on whether you tip hotel staff or pay for parking
$145-410 for this conference (assuming you're traveling from out of town), depending on carpooling, room sharing, gov't rate, and other measures.
That's for a conference with a great history, great people, great content, food and entertainment provided, and a once-a-year chance to meet, greet, and network with your colleagues from around the region.
FINALLY, if there really is no money, just DO it anyway! DO pay your own way. You know it doesn't really cost you $.45/mile to drive anywhere, and you certainly don't need to spend the state rate on your travel meals - and we're picking up the rest. Find a cheap place to stay (get the government rate), stay with a friend, or even consider couchsurfing.com! If you're within commuting distance, all you have to worry about is the conference fee.

CONFERENCE BUDGETING
Typically for a conference you need money for:
- Travel
- Food
- Lodging
- Conference Fees/Registration
- Misc (phone, tips, supplies, etc...)
For a normal conference in the state that you have to travel to, you'd typically budget the following:
- Travel - $30-$250, depending on how far away you lived (with a $0.45/mile reimbursement rate)
- Food - $60-$90, depending on whether you include meals before and after (based on travel time)
- Lodging - $90-$190 per night for 2 nights for $180-380 total, depending on rate and taxes.
- Conference Fees/Registration - $50-$250 depending on how much you're giving conference planners.
- Misc (phone, tips, supplies, etc...) - $5-$30 depending on whether you tip your hotel staff or pay for parking
So for a normal out-0f-town conference you'd likely have to budget between $235-$910.
Here's what we're offering and suggesting, if the budget is tight:
- Travel - carpool or get a school van, and split the mileage. If you go 2-3/vehicle, you're down to $15-$125
- Food - we'll provide you dinner the first night, lunch and dinner the next, and breaks with food thruough, equivalent to a continental breakfast $60-$90, depending on whether you include meals before and after (based on travel time)
- Lodging - $90-$190 per night for 2 nights for $180-380 total, depending on rate and taxes.
- Conference Fees/Registration - $50-$250 depending on how much you're giving conference planners.
- Misc (phone, tips, supplies, etc...) - $5-$30 depending on whether you tip your hotel staff or pay for parking
