What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

  • Total the Northlight Summit budget, see which categories carry the weight and add a contingency on top.
  • Split the Northlight budget into fixed and variable costs and see how the cost per attendee falls as attendance grows.
  • Price the early-bird tier, forecast ticket revenue across five tiers with SUMPRODUCT and see what the early bird really costs.
  • Find how many tickets Northlight must sell to cover its costs, with and without sponsors, and the lowest average price that still breaks even.
  • Estimate the impressions each Northlight package delivers, total the sponsorship income and compare packages by cost per 1,000 impressions.
  • Turn Northlight's registration answers into guest counts per diet, a blended lunch price and the final catering bill.
  • Build Northlight's cash plan week by week, find the lowest cash point and chart the balance.
  • Close the books on Northlight: budget-vs-actual variances, net profit, ROI and profit per attendee who actually came.

About this course

Before booking a venue, an organiser needs to know how many tickets must sell and at what price. This course builds that plan. You set up a budget by category with a contingency reserve, split fixed from variable costs to get cost per attendee, and design ticket tiers with early-bird pricing. Break-even attendance and break-even price show the minimum needed to avoid a loss, and sponsorship packages are valued by the impressions they deliver. Catering is planned per head with a dietary mix, and a cash-flow timeline lines up deposits, supplier payments and ticket income. The course closes with a post-event P&L, return on investment and profit per attendee. For event planners, association staff, meetup organisers and hospitality students.

Questions about this course

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.

What exactly do I get?

All lessons and labs of this course, the final exam and the certificate, including later updates to the course, for as long as Tutorvo offers it. Access is personal and tied to your account.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you are not satisfied, email hello@tutorvo.com within 14 days of buying and we refund the course in full via Stripe. The guarantee does not apply once a certificate for the course has been issued to you, or where there are signs of abuse.

When can I start?

Right after payment. Access starts immediately at your request; for consumers in the EU/EEA the statutory right of withdrawal therefore ends once access has begun, while our 14-day money-back guarantee applies regardless.
