Well - we paid for stuff like shipping (gear), power strips, gaffer tape, video tapes, a rental truck, volunteer munchies, and a lot of misc. Verio picked up a big chunk of our costs (Thanks Randy!) - If you've got gear, local loop, & transit you might be able to do a meeting for under $3,500.

Our big costs were US West curcuits into the hotel (6xT1 - we could have gotten away with 4xT1) and cable - we had lenghts cut to fit the table layout in the ballroom. We had switches & such on hand, and we "borrowed" terminal room machines from one of the student labs -
If these costs were negligible, how much would it have cost?
(assuming, for example, an 802.11b shot from a hotel to an already- connected nearby building, donated transit, doing wireless-only in the conference and having some friendly vendor loan the machines for the terminal room).
