Time sensitive vote: Inkscape Bengaluru Summit 2025 (India)

Dear PLC,
This event is soon, so I'll close this vote as soon as possible.
Ishaan and Vaibhav are putting together a small India based summit and they need fuunding for travel and hotels. We've been helping them put this together for a couple of weeks to get the details right.
Attached is the full details, it's expected to be a 5 person event with a cost of $370 per person total, that includes a ticket to attend IndiaFOSS 2025 where they will have a booth.
Venue is $655 for the 4 days. And there's a request for $70 to have a screen at the Inkscape booth at fossIndia.
Total cost: $2575
Please consider approving the budget for this event in this vote.
a) Approve the budget as given b) Amend the budget like this _____ c) Do not approve this request
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Questions... Do they have banners or stickers for the booth? What happens to the screen post-event?

I believe the screen is a rental from the event host.
The banner / stickers vote was a previous vote. See VOTE: Refresh Promotional Materials, $150 for Ishaan.
Martin,

I vote A. This is a great initiative! Jonathan
