Ok, thanks, Anna. I was referring to meal cost for a paid sponsored session (lunch). Nicole mentioned that what they pay elsewhere is $35/person, so this is really high in comparison. FWIW.

None of these prices include the 23% gratuity/service fee, so we're looking at a range of $62-80 per person for a lunch. For $10,000, that would cover 125-160 attendees.

The context of her response was me asking what she thought a vendor would consider paying, and I mentioned this estimate. Is it possible at this stage to give a more certain estimate?
