Hi Wenke,
Many thanks for this, it's very useful reading!
I wonder if there is any more detail about each of the individual sessions. Not everyone attended each session so it would be interesting to see how each session was evaluated by the people who were present (either numerically or with comments made)
If you have this information it would be really useful for future conferences.
Regards,
Chris

Thank you for publishing these details.
For those who cannot face looking at a spreadsheet, the headline figures are: * The overall conference cost € 94,977 ($ 127,623) * The equivalent cost per attendee was € 674 ($ 906)
As it was not recorded, it remains unknown how many of the 141 registered attendees were employees, employees or contractors attending as volunteers, unpaid volunteers, or what the total in expenses were for WMF employees not represented in the published summary. Were this factored in, then the equivalent cost per attendee would increase. The number of attendees claiming accommodation costs was 58 out of the 141 attendees.

Hi Fae, Wenke and others.
Wenke, thanks so much for reporting soon after your conference.
This thread ties in nicely to the generalized discussion about the costs and benefits of conferences. WMF Evaluation is planning to perform an analysis of conferences this year [1]. Also, I have asked a question here [2] about how WMF plans to instrument Wikimania and if WMF plans to make recommendations this year about how attendees can maximize the "impact" of their presence at Wikimania.
