While the overall goal of PostgreSQL Europe is to break even we did in 2015 see the first net loss since the start of operation. It is however a small loss compared to the total income compared to our expenditure, PostgreSQL Europe is still very much in good financial health. The costs of arranging PGConf.EU were substantially higher due to the increased cost level of Vienna compared to Madrid as well as the larger scale of the event. The registration price was however not raised substantially (it was raised from 200€ to 240€) in order to make the event affordable for everyone. This contributed to the minor loss on the yearly result.
The savings account which acts as a buffer to cover unexpected costs has not been used during 2015 since all events have generated satisfactory financial results (exceeding or hitting budget) due to good sponsor incomes. The only transaction during 2015 was an interest income of 687.72€. As the events grow larger - PGConf.EU 2015 was our biggest event to date - and the number of events increase, the importance of this buffer remains.
At Nordic PGDay 2015, we launched an online self serve portal for event sponsorship with credit card payment possibility for the entry level sponsorship. This was then used for all events during the year streamlining the sponsor signup process.
Our administrative backend software which powers both our financial reporting as well as the events was again further improved ensuring safe operation of our events.
We have found an accountant firm to work with, but we haven't yet finished the initial process so we don't have any more details at this point.
IBAN transfers are now accepted for conference payments.
Merchandise sales are increasing year over year with 2015 being no exception. In total, sales were up 13% from 2014 reaching a total of 4,608.00€.
