Sponsorships
Posted: September 4th, 2010 | Author: Tyler | Filed under: Sponsors | Tags: Sponsors | View CommentsCome join us! Register now and beat the crowds.
Sponsorships are the backbone of what make this event possible. Without them, we couldn’t rent out Cronkite, afford the tapes, name tags and other supplies and most importantly, wouldn’t have grub to snack on at the after party. If you or your business would like to help us out, we have sponsorship packages available for very cheap.
Session Sponsorship ($25 — 12 available)
These are are the individual sessions. Sponsorships include a 15–30 ad read at the beginning of the presentation, the business’s logo on the presenter slides and the business name and logo on the video of the presentation posted online post event. We have about six left.
Room Sponsorship ($50 — 3 available)
Each sponsor gets to decorate their room how they see fit. There are a few restrictions handed down from Cronkite (can’t affix anything to the walls, for example) but we’re happy to work with you to get the most out of it. You also get your logo and a writeup in a specific post on the blog, as well as thanked by your organizers in the beginning. These are sold out.
After-Party Sponsorship (~$100 — 2 available)
These businesses buy us appetizers at our venue of choice after the event. They are included in the previous writeup and we will work with the after-party venue to get signage up if they so desire. They are considered our title sponsors and will get preferential placement on blogs and will be included in the RSS footer of every post. We’ll also thank them in the opening act.
Session sponsors do have a say in what sessions they sponsor, but their choices aren’t final. Every effort is made to ensure the sponsors and the session material coincide with each other or that they don’t conflict horribly (like an alcohol company couldn’t sponsor a college presenter, not that we have any alcohol companies as sponsors, but you know what I mean).
As of Labor Day Weekend, session sponsorships and one after-party sponsorship is still available.
