Gabriel this is the most awesome thing YAY Montreal!
I have some historic documents from years gone by, both from when Toronto hosted and some stuff shared from other cities (at one point I had access to documents from LA but haven’t been able to find them this past year).
Generally speaking the event can cost from $4-$10K depending on what the hosts need to pay for (some can get space or food for free, some can not). However, for many years pretty consistently hosts came out with donations from attendees that was ~ double what their costs were, and as such there is usually a starter fund of $3-7K passed from the previous year.
I’ll dig up the documents I have to share, and I’m sure lots of other folks here will have some good input on this!

Hello fellow CBS organizers and volunteers,
I won't beat around the bush, there is a good chance a Montreal bid will be proposed at B!B!CDMX '25.
Alain Deschamps and I wanted to propose in Tijuana but we stepped down seing the already great bids placed and the big conversation that ensued.
We already had some sort of idea of how a B!B! is organized but I would like to see org charts, sheets and docs used for preping this wonderfull event- I've seen the docs from the B!B! in Colorado on here, but would love to see other ones.
Would also like to know how much we can expect to pay to organize the B!B! in 2026. Is there any money left if the fund to help the orgarnizers or it's empty?
Thanks and hopefully we see eachother in August!
Gabriel ML, BQAM-E
