   (This is not including the incredible amount of paid time that went into organizing the conference donated by @cloudcannon)

      @zachleat @cloudcannon so that's... 16 years of my $11/month OC contribution, kinda puts things in perspective

         @eeeps @cloudcannon every bit helps!

      @zachleat @cloudcannon I hope you include a rough estimate of that amount in your blog post!

      Also, I assume there weren’t speaking fees, given it was free?

         @Meyerweb @cloudcannon we did honorariums, yeah—but they were small: $110 for 11m and $220 for 22m. That was documented up front on the CFP when folks submitted talks.

         $1760 of the expenses went to those.

            @zachleat @cloudcannon Good on ya! That’s excellent. Definitely be clear about that in the post.

   Oh ouch! Think most would have paid for a ticket. #11ty

      @simoncox I guess I think $2K for the conference was well worth it and I’m proud of that number for a free event!

   @zachleat Do you have a sense for how many folks registered, and how many viewed it live vs. after-the-fact?

   1. Zach Leatherman 3 days later

      @cferdinandi I’ll put some of that in the blog post!

      1. Chris Ferdinandi 3 days later

         @zachleat Excellent, I look forward to reading it! And truly, thank you for putting this on. Excellent event, fantastically managed by you and the team, with an incredible lineup of speakers.

         I've had friends tell me its the first conference they've seen where ever talk was a "must watch."

         Nicely done! 👏👏👏
