Changes at "MautiCon Portugal 2024"

Which continent are you suggesting?

I suggest the next in-person Mautic conference is held in the continent of: Europe

Which country are you suggesting?

I suggest the next in-person Mautic conference is held in the country of: Portugal

Which city would the event be hosted in?

I suggest the next in-person Mautic conference is held in the city of: Lisbon

Please share the venue/s and date/s that you have in mind

In-person conferences are traditionally held in November, but can be moved if this coincides with religious festivals in the host country, for example. The event should be at least one full-day of conference with a track that is aimed towards marketers and one towards developers, and should have at least one day for contribution day.

I propose the following venue/s:

• NOVA School of Lisbon
• Escola Superior de Comunicação Social
• Universidade de Lisboa
• Centro Cultural de Belém
• Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation

I propose the following date/s:

• November 4th and 5th

Please share a rough idea of budget

It's important that all events are financially self-sustainable and ideally making a profit, which supports the Mautic project. Please share a rough idea of your budget based on your estimation of the costs and income this event could generate. This can be a first draft and should preferably be shared using a Google Sheet.

Costs:

• If a university or foundation can provide the event venue at no cost, our expenses would primarily cover food, plane tickets, hotels, and gifts, totaling an estimated €3,000 to €4,000.
• If we need to pay for the event venue, we are prepared to consider a budget of €10,000 to €13,000.

Revenue:

• Given that Mautic is relatively unknown in Portugal but has significant growth potential, we propose not to sell tickets and to make the event open to the public.
• Revenue would primarily come from sponsorships, donations, and potential sponsorship from Portuguese marketing startups interested in supporting our cause.

Please share the names of your core team members

Who would be the team leads as documented here? At a minimum we require a Volunteer Coordinator, Venue, Program and Sponsorship Lead to be identified at this point.

• Volunteer coordinator: Ricardo Freire
• Venue lead: Lenon Leite
• Program lead: Dominique De Cooman
