-7.361,30 € (to compare 2013: 1.489,37 €)
• Working capital at the beginning of the year:
5.539,31 € (to compare 2013: 4.049,94 €)
• Working capital at the end of the year:
-1.821,99 € (to compare 2013: 5.539,31 €)
34th. ADLUG ANNUAL MEETING 2015
FINANCES (cont.)
•
Negative result of -7.361,30 € is due to a concurrence of exceptional circumstances:
•
•
•
•
Loss of main sponsor IBM, restricting users group support all over Europe
Incidental costs involved with an extra meeting for the creation of ADLUG as an unincorporated
association
Costs due to a successful action during the Annual Meeting in P.A.
in order to reduce travel costs for the participants (free airport pick-up service from Catania to P.A.
and return)
Actions (at least for the current year) :
• Simultaneous translation at the Annual Meeting suspended
• Board winter meeting replaced by e-contacts
• Other cost reductions under investigation
These actions should result in a yearly gain of approx. + 8.000,00 €
and repair the yearly balance

34th ADLUG ANNUAL MEETING 2015
ADLUG Official Languages
The language of the presentations should be in English by preference.
For the first time there will be no simultaneous translation.
Suggestion:
It is in general not necessary to speak slowly but it is useful
to pause briefly after a sentence, and somewhat longer before starting a
new topic.
This will improve significantly the understanding for a non-native
English speaking audience!
No simultaneus translation.
