Christopher St. John offered to organize the Sponsorship process
Sponsors help us provide a great, free event. Last time, we had sponsors pitch in for t-shirts, bkfst, lunch and dinner, drinks, bar tabs, coffee, misc supplies (tape, toiletries, cups, plates, etc.)
Here's the pitch I sent sponsors last time:

Some of those people should be willing to re-up. RedBull has already told Amit they're interested.
