Great post about organizing an event. We have had problems with Paypal in the past also, and they were a little more hardcore with us. Eventually got all of our money though.
And thanks for your support of WordPress. If everyone who had a WP blog would just donate a couple of dollars..whew!
Hope this years event is even more successful.

Thanks for the great post – last year was my first WC organization, though I’ve helped for a few years with PodCampAz and Ignite, both of which saw over 600+ for a couple years in a row.
I had some help from one of our major sponsors who provided a couple bodies to help and they had a lot of internal help that made my job a little easier but I know it’s not always going to be like that and this post helped kind of kick start my fire to get the ball rolling again here in Arizona.
Thx again – cheers

[...] putting these events together takes time and an incredible amount of hard work, as shown by Steve Bruner’s post on the WCNYC blog: When you have 70+ speakers and volunteers working for gratis, you start out $2,500 in the hole. [...]

Hey Steve, thanks for posting this. (Even though I was by your side at the end watching you have to deal with most of those issues, it was still good to see them written out coherently.) Can’t wait to start planning #wcnyc2010!
