+I've run 100s of events from meetups to large conferences over the years. This is a simple tech budget that you can use as a template to estimate costs, sponsors, and so on.
+
+This is a base model for a 100 person conference that assumes:
+* volunteer organizers
+* not paying speakers
+* no paid design or website work
+
+There are many other items that are necessary for running larger events. It should also be easily editable for smaller and simpler meetups.
+
+I've plugged in a line item for A/V that is relatively high. Getting high quality recordings of talks are a great resource, something that sponsors can sponsor / have their logos and materials embedded in, and is valuable for speakers and future versions of the event.
+## GSheet Template
