TBH William Osman's been pretty open about this event not being profitable yet, though having the support on the YouTube/Sauceplus side, he hopes that will fill in the funding gap. Trade shows/conferences without a massive corporate sponsorship backing (e.g. like many trade shows today) are definitely risky, financially. | ||
