Will Manifest 2024 be proximately profitable, excluding staff salaries?

Question

manifest.is

by "proximately profitable," i'm counting the obvious, clear, proximate revenues minus the obvious, clear, proximate costs. for example:

revenues: ticket sales, sponsorships, donations, lotteries, etc

costs: venue, food, travel, etc — NOTE: this market DOES NOT INCLUDE staff salaries

here's an equivalent market that includes staff salaries:

(https://manifold.markets/embed/saulmunn/will-manifest-2024-be-proximately-p)further clarifications:

since we might sell tickets for mana (or buy things in mana?), i'll include mana in this count, at an M100 = $1 USD.

this count would include manifest summer camp.

this count explicitly excludes things like, e.g., finding a new hire for manifold, or the manifold dev team getting really high quality user feedback
