Every event, $K. 2026 = Jan–Oct actual + Nov–Dec estimate, cleaned so 2025 and 2026 compare like for like.
What this shows: how I build an event budget with each owner: every event reviewed, a walk from this year to next, a calendar, spend not tied to an event, and where each number comes from. All names and figures are made up.
Internal vs. external events
US vs. international events
Growth, year over year

Where it sits and who is following up
Open question: should 2027 carry this group at the 2026 level, leave it out, or set a lower cap? It is only in the Budget build totals when "Include All other" is ticked. Bars: light = 2026, dark = 2027.
