Reasons for Budgeting • To monitor the financial situation as it relates to the goals and objectives of the meeting • To understand where the income is coming from and where it is going • To identify the percentage of income and expenses from individual areas • To analyze and control expenditures • To determine areas that allow for an increase (↑) in revenues and a decrease (↑) in expenses to avoid

losses and determine program options

Budgetary Goals There are three types of goals when setting a budget : • break even: when income = expense • To generate profit: when income > expense • To minimize loss and subsidize if necessary: when income < expense

Income Income is the money gained as revenue from the MICE event. Sources of funding include: • Allocation of funds from an organization’s budget • Revenue generated from: o Registration fees o Exhibition fees o Advertising fees • Sponsorships • In-kind donations (goods, services and function space)

Expense Expenses are moneys that need to be spent in order to hold the MICE event. Typical expenses originate from fixed, variable and indirect costs. Fixed Costs are costs that have to be met. These expenses remain the same regardless of the number of delegates. • Venue/room rent • Speakers • Marketing • Office supplies and expenses • Multimedia

Variable Costs are costs that vary with the number of delegates. These expenses are based on a per-person basis. • Food and beverage (F&B) • On-site materials • Ground transportation • Entertainment

Indirect Costs are listed as overhead or administrative items on a programme budget and are organizational expenses not directly related to the event. • Staff salaries •• Rental Costs• Venue and Space• Equipment• Security Costs
