When

We plan to hold the event on Sunday 26th of July 2009.

Time

Doors open at 10AM - we aim to finish at 5PM

Sponsors can help us by providing one or more of the following, please take a look at the sponsorship pack for reasons why sponsorship is a good idea and what you get for sponsoring (note, all sponsors will get their logo on the barcamp transparency website with a note saying what they contributed on a first come first served basis):

Suggested sponsorship tiers:

Tier 1 - Main Sponsor: covers £600  - receives full coverage on our sites, off line, largest posters during the event, largest logos everywhere where sponsorship is mentioned, and mentioning in buzz generated from event. Is mentioned at the opening, during and at the end of the barcamp. Receives largest logo on assets (T-shirts, mugs, Moo stickers, event badges - if they have their own badge format, more than happy to accept to use those - see The Guardian during London Barcamp), has the right to include their own promotional material in goodie bags.

Tier 2 - Sponsor: covers £200-300  - receives coverage on all our websites, on smalelr posters, on the list of sponsors on and off-line, list of which will be mentioned during the opening of the event; receives small logo on our assets (T-shirts, mugs, badges, Moo stickers), has the right to include their own promotional material in goodie bags.

Tier 3 - Additional sponsor: covers any sponsorship under 200, incl. individual donations; covers items below 200 from our wiki list, and provides items for goodie bags (branded and/or non-branded) - receives coverage on our main site on a list of goodie bag sponsors; has the right to include their own promotional material in goodie bags)

Media Sponsors - provide media coverage for the event, receive mentioning on the sites (main website, wiki, Twitter) posters and assets (T-shirts, mugs, badges, Moo stickers - pending the design of those we will try to accommodate them based on chronological order of finalising the sponsorship) and during the event.

Additional sponsorship - if companies offer their services or time in preparation of the barcamp we will mention them on our on-line sites, and during the event.

We are always more than happy to discuss any other ideas for sponsorship, so please contact us!
