Since I just asked this
question about BrickFest PDX 2007...
Can the organizers of BrickWorld 2007 tell us who (if anyone) will be
profiting from this year’s event?

I’m just curious: what leads you to think that this type of information
should be public knowledge? It’s as if you believe that fest organizers
are somehow obligated to account for every penny to the GP, and AFOLs in
particular. Do you suspect that such people are somehow ripping off AFOLs
who attend?
And if they do make money off of an event, is that somehow a Bad Thing™?
It seems to me that even by posing the question, it raises a question of
impropriety; kinda like “when did you stop beating your wife?”

There isn’t anything wrong with either a for-profit or non-profit AFOL event.
Any of these answers are perfectly fine:
- John Smith will be profiting from this event.
- Corporation X, LLC will be profiting from this event.
- This is a non-profit event. Any leftover money will go towards X.
I just think people would like to know going in which one it is. What reason
would organizers of AFOL events have to keep that information from the
community?
