Can I Count Industry Conference Content Creation Expenses as Marketing Costs for My Future Fund?

Hi everyone I have an opportunity to create content pieces (video and blog) via industry conference. This involves significant costs I have not registered my fund yet can I count these expenses as marketing cost later when I launch my fund ? Is there anything I need to do now that might help me account for this expenses later when I launch my fund.

As a general rule, the fund reimburses fund formation expenses, which tend to be legal expenses, and the fund does not reimburse other setup expenses, such as marketing. Pre-marketing is also highly regulated in most jurisdictions, so funds tend to avoid marketing until after the fund is fully closed with 100% of the capital committed.
