What does a sponsor need to know?
I'm helping organize SkypeCamp, a component of this June's eBay Developer Conference in Las Vegas. This is a geek event. I wanted to get your take on your company sponsoring it.
Here's the (brief) pitch:
SkypeCamp: In conjunction with the formal, highly structured lecture and laboratory format of the eBay DevCon, it's a weekend-long un-conference with the goal of bringing together developers to share ideas and learn from each other. Anyone is welcome, and all attendees are expected to give a demo, a session, or help with one. We'll also have a Skype Code-A-Thon, where teams will create new Skype apps overnight, demo them on Sunday, and be voted by their peers.
Benefits:
- As a sponsor, you'll have your name listed on the event wiki, and we'll thank you at the end of the conference
- We'll express our gratitude on Skype Journal, of course
- You'll have your company's name associated with a hip, underground techie event, earn the goodwill and attention of 100 or so Skype and eBay alpha geeks in attendance, and countless others scattered across the country via the wiki. And all for just a few hundred bucks!
