I sent round some ideas about sponsorship prices a couple of weeks ago. I don't have my email archive with me but everyone should have a copy. I was asking for comments on the numbers - particularly from potential sponsors - but nobody said anything.

I recall seeing the information to which you refer, but I must have misunderstood- I thought there was some additional information that was needed and so I took no action. The email subsequently went into my trash bin.

Even though I don’t recall the exact numbers, I do remember thinking that last session’s figures were OK. Symas will sponsor at one of the two top levels- not sure which yet.

We need to choose the numbers ASAP because I think we need most of the sponsors signed up before setting the ticket price. I should have pushed this harder before.

If you could circulate the numbers again I’ll let you know which tier we will sign up for.

We should have a page on the website that present sponsorship details, then we we will able to communicate on this.

Clément.

Thanks Peter.

My opinion is that the cost for a Platinum sponsorship was too high for the size of the conference. I also recall that there were no takers for Platinum last time, and we should factor that into this year’s sponsorship pricing.

How about this:

Platinum - 2,500 € Gold - 1000 € Silver - 500 €

The lower-priced Silver tier would probably attract sponsors who felt that the previous cost for a Silver sponsorship was out of their reach. It’s also likely that, to the benefit of the conference, lower pricing will be attractive to more sponsors.

I could also see an upward adjustment of these figures by 250 € without too much harm:

Platinum - 2,750 € Gold - 1250 € Silver - 750 €

Thoughts?

Hi,

I did have a look at the numbers (Silver 1000 €, Gold 2000 €, Platinum 4000 €). For so little numbers of participants, I thought that the numbers should definitely not exceed these figures and may be some more sponsors would come, if the prices would be cheaper. By mistake, I thought that those were the final numbers, I already sent the filled out sponsor form to administration@lists.ldapcon.org , going for silver.

If numbers will change I'd like to have the chance to decide new which option to take.

Cheers,

Peter

Kimball: could you take the lead on this? Clément can tell you how the negotiations worked last time. He has already circulated the 2013 invitation to sponsors.

Thanks
