Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

Based on typical costs for a full‑service conference planning contract of this scale (mid‑size professional conference, venue rental, speaker coordination, registration handling, and on‑site management), the budget is likely in the low‑to‑mid six‑figure range. Assuming a modest venue and a regional audience, a contractor could earn roughly $50,000 for basic planning and execution, up to $150,000 if the scope includes extensive marketing, high‑profile speakers, and comprehensive on‑site staffing. The estimate reflects the small‑business set‑aside nature of the award, which usually caps budgets at a level appropriate for SMEs while still covering the full event lifecycle.
