2009 Sponsors
From BarCampWiki
Help the Local Tech Community by Sponsoring BarCamp Boston
(This page describes sponsorship options and their benefits. Make your sponsorship payment here)
BarCamp Boston 4 (April 25-26, 2009) will bring together approximately 350 of the Boston area's brightest and most motivated software developers, engineers, inventors, students, and entrepreneurs. By sponsoring BarCamp, you'll be helping this community in a very direct and visible way.
No overhead: BarCamp Boston is run by volunteers who aim to create a wonderful event for all who choose to participate. There is no cost for participants (though a voluntary contribution of $20 is requested) and, thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, we provide free breakfast, lunch, snacks, and T-shirts. When you buy a sponsorship, you're contributing directly to this experience. And we want you involved at the event, too. That's why all sponsors receive a special sponsors-only shirt to be worn by your representatives at the event. It lets everyone you meet know that your company has stepped up as an important supporter of BarCamp.

Sponsorships are Flexible
If you'd like to contribute an amount over $1000, we can work with you to find a set of sponsorship benefits that meet your objectives while staying in the spirit of BarCamp. Please note that under no circumstances is the exclusive attention of BarCamp participants for sale. Anyone, sponsor or not, is welcome to promote themselves with a talk or demo, but participants are not likely to watch advertisements when they can easily attend or create a different session. If you're a sponsor, the BarCamp organizing team will be happy to lend you our expertise so you can participate in a way that respects BarCamp and satisfies your goals.
