Here's an easy and completely free way to make your (un)conference more inclusive, as well as better for the environment: have people pay for their t-shirts. If you want *great* shirts that people will actually wear, you can then also charge the proper price for those.
I've run minimal dev conferences a few times (~30usd tickets) and always made a point of having good tshirts. No sponsors on the shirt. Free for all early bird tickets.
You'll see most coders in HK wearing one of my shirts at some point.
