Barcamp Mobile is Looking for Sponsors!

It’s that time! Barcamp Mobile is looking for sponsors for our 2011 conference!

The University of South Alabama CIS department has agreed to host us an officially sponsored activity, giving us access to all the space we need and a great wifi connection, which is the perfect start for a user-led technology conference. Luckily Barcamp is pretty simple, so that means with classrooms, chairs, wifi, projectors, and white boards, we have the biggest part out of the way.

What else do we need? FOOD!

As the saying goes, geeks gotta eat, and we’d like to be able to provide all meals like we did for Barcamp 2009. We are looking for local businesses who don’t mind putting up a little cash for a great cause(and a bit of free promotion!) to help offset costs for a night-before meet and greet, as well as breakfast, lunch and snacks the day of the conference. All sponsors get a special place in the sidebar, mentions in every blog post, lots of twitter mentions, our eternal gratitude, and the knowledge that you have helped make the world a better place by facilitating the sharing of knowledge amongst those with a strong desire to learn.(And did we mention we’d love to be able to thank you in person for your donation at Barcamp?)

If you are interested in helping us make this the best event possible, drop me an email at sara@barcampmobile.org so we can discuss sponsorship options. If you know someone who owns a local business who would be a great addition to our sponsor group, hit me up and I’ll send you an email to forward on. It takes a community to put on a Barcamp, so lets get the ball rolling!
