Fiscal sponsorship for your event: Roll your own or seek one out?
There are so many options available to organizers, but which is the right one for your camp, event or organization? And do we do this together or do we go it alone? Are there benefits for one or the other to the work you're doing in the Drupal community space?
From Open Collective, Software Conservancy, 501C3 IRS designation or doing nothing at all? What about Sales Taxes? Do I need an EIN? What kind of accounting software? Do we need insurance? It could almost make your head explode...almost.
In this session, Kelly Albrecht, Kevin Thull and Kirsten Burgard will discuss the ins and outs of determining the best fit for your organization for supporting, building and extend your drupal community.
