Forget the paper copy, except for a paper insert in the dvd paper case. I have DVDs on the shelf here that cost $20 per 50 or a total of $40 for 100. The Memorex DVD sleeves (100/box) is marked $3. So we're talking $43 total for the materials for 100 DVDs or $0.43 per DVD.
Surely the project can cover $43 in materials. The booth at the conference and/or the attendence fee at the conference is more than that. In fact, what I did with the Axiom and Rosetta CDs was to make one for every registered attendee and give them out in their welcome packets. And I left 50 copies on the reception table. (Actually I went a little further and used the HP Lightscribe disks because you can burn an image on the face of it rather than use a paper label.) Seriously, the most expensive cost is the time to polish/package/test and reproduce the DVDs. But those are human labor costs and don't need to be recovered. Take up a donation drive to cover the costs. Ask for $43 for christmas :-) Give the DVDs away. The costs are chump-change compared to the benefits.
