Sponsors are key to CyborgCamp. Without them, the event cannot exist. Last year, we had a number of wonderful sponsors from the local community. They made everything possible.
We need to begin contacting potential sponsors. Last year we had a need for $2,500. We charged admission for 100 people at $10 a person. Needs may be higher or lower this year depending on food and location rental.
What do sponsors get? A shoutout in the morning and before lunch. $250-$500 sponsors get 5 minute speech in the morning or before lunch. All sponsors get their logo and link to their site from CyborgCamp.com and their logo in a revolving PPT that runs during the conference.
Template Sponsor Thank you Letter
