See Asaf's mail and comment on Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Future_of_the_Wikimedia_Conference#Financing_a_Wikimedia_Conference

"To enable more chapters to offer their city/country as the hosting
entity, the Foundation has made the decision to financially support
the hosting expenses for the Wikimedia Conference itself; to include
the cost of the main conference venue and miscellaneous meeting rooms,
the cost of internet access at that venue, the cost of meals provided
at the conference venue during the conference for all participants and
any group ground transit needs related specifically to the meetings at
the conference. "

Cheers,
Nicole
