The upcoming May 2004 conference, projected to host 2,450 delegates, faces budget considerations neutralized by key sponsorships from SAP and Deloitte. Estimated venue space is 2,300 square meters, slightly smaller than expected. Despite significant losses from major sponsors like Oracle and IBM, gains from Colgate and Dunnhumby present positive outlooks. With anticipated registration income exceeding €100,000 and a prudent profit target of €350,000, planning includes shuttles and coffee breaks sponsored by influential brands. Potential locations remain under consideration, with Brussels at risk of being overlooked.
