Comments
Blocked by element-hq/element-web#57 and element-hq/element-web#75 |
Two proposed prospecti. One is with Media sponsor in the table with the other sponsorships, the other with Media sponsor at the end. Still open to ideas on what to offer sponsors and sponsorship requests to make. https://docs.google.com/document/d/14lR5GuMzsFO6BR7_5uwm7u44xeFUYOmxNie9UOp01E8/edit# |
SeaGL 2021 Sponsorship LevelsThe below is proposal / questionaire. It's a first draft at documentation for in Please let us know if you have feedback. Sponsorship LevelsSponsorship levels ( Metal, Local Business, Non-exhibiting, Educational / Nonprofit and Media ) are documented in the sponsorship prospectus. https://docs.google.com/document/d/14lR5GuMzsFO6BR7_5uwm7u44xeFUYOmxNie9UOp01E8/edit# Sponsorship Add-onsIn addition to the general levels, we have alternative sponsorships / add-ons tahat can be paid for. Those have only short names in the prospectus. This longer internal descriptions is for our reference when answering sponsor questions. We don't want the sponsor prospectus to become noisy or turn into a novella, but we can add clarification as we determine it will help. This document will also describe how the add-ons will hypothetically work for a virtual conference in 2021. Track (per track, per day): $500The program committee will determine how many tracks we will have ( including if there will be more than one ) once they've got an idea of which talks will be accepted. Hallway Track ( per day ): $500For a virtual conference, the hallway track is our main IRC channel/lobby. Sponsor would get a mention in the channel topic and during the conference. TeaGL Virtual Afternoon Tea Social Event: $250TeaGL was a great experience last year. It was also popular. It is a planned social event. For the virtual conference it runs both Friday and Saturday afternoons during the conference. We also had a TeaGL tea exchange that ran before the conference, which built familiarity and interest in TeaGL. For the virtual conference TeaGL participants are encouraged to make a mug of tea or other beverage and join us in the video chat for a relaxed social gathering. Coffee Vouchers ( both days ): $1,000For a virtual conference we can make coffee shop vouchers available to attendees, so they can get a local coffee to enjoy during the morning coffee breaks on both days of the conference. The sponsorship would also include the virtual coffee break social event. Friday / Saturday Attendee Lunch Vouchers: $1,000 per dayFor a virtual conference we can make restaurant vouchers available to attendees. The vouchers could be for one or more delivery services or directly for restaurants. Career Expo Platinum: $2,000In 2020 we added a Career Expo enhancing our existing job board with career counselors providing career advice and resume reviews. The sponsorship would include mentions in Career Expo promotion and during the event. For the top level sponsorship it would also include social media posts and mention in the Career Expo IRC channel topics. Career Expo Gold: $1,000In 2020 we added a Career Expo enhancing our existing job board with career counselors providing career advice and resume reviews. The sponsorship would include mentions in Career Expo promotion and during the event. Digital Sticker Pack: $500The digital stickers are for applications such as Telegram. Sponsorship would get mention on the download page and the sponsor logo as one of the stickers. IDEA: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access : $1,000This sponsorship funds our IDEA initiative. It would fund the IDEA effort and committee ( travel, etc ) for IDEA outreach as well. Live Transcriptions (per track): $3,000As part of our accessibility effort, we would love to feature live transcription of talks. The sponsorship would fund the live transcription and be recognized during talk announcements and in the room IRC topic. Saturday Post-Event Party: $2,000Sponsors would be recognized during the post-event party on Saturday night. Volunteer Appreciation Event: $500Salt gets your logo sculpted into his hair. What do we want to do for a virtual volunteer appreciation event on Sunday? Sponsored naps? :) We could provide vouchers for meal delivery or massages. General Questions
Traditional Add-ons options dropped due to virtual only conference

My $0.02 (whatever sponsorship level that is)
Maybe for next year. Metals are well-known in this space, so doing something different would require a lot of consideration that we probably don't want to prioritize at this point.
That might be hard to do unless we make it someone's job to post the mentions regularly. I don't think we'd want to take up the topic with a list of sponsors.
Putting logos on the "ad roll" would be good. I'm not sure we'd want to bother with anything else. Not opposed to it, though.
Sounds too complicated unless there's someone who very specifically wants to give us money for only that.
It might be good so that they don't overlap. I'm not sure we need multiple levels for this, but I defer to your experience with it.
Yes, unless we use the sponsorship to pay for a performer to ...perform... at the party. We may also want to consider dropping the coffee and lunch sponsorships this year. Since we don't have registration and people could be anywhere, distributing vouchers sounds like a really unpleasant task to give someone.
I like that!
It's a good idea, but maybe save it for our 10th SeaGL? Just in the interests of time. |
Did some market research, here are some relevant links:
We need to get the prospectus up and done ASAP. I've checked it off meeting wise, @sramkrishna and @lufthans what is left to export and send LF a v1? |
Yeah, low priority, but I think we should ask every few years.
Yeah, no need to turn the topic into a short essay. Is there a way to have a room welcome message in Matrix? Can we add vanity roles in Matrix? If so, we could have a sponsor role/title.
Yes, I'll add "add roll" to the checklist, thanks for the reminder.
We decided to go with a single sponsorship level for Career Expo, but it can have multiple sponsors at that level.
We decided to keep it in case it's enticing to a sponsor.
I'll work on adding it to our internal documentation.
I was thinking of trying to roll out founding sponsors this year and add the 10% discount for next year, but it could be the other way around or even neither this year. In any case, documentation first. |
Pinging @AndrewKvalheim on these since he's currently exploring Matrix in greater depth. |
Added a link to 2021 sponsors to the sponors page now that the prospectus is live on the website. |
Not yet. Flair would be appropriate for this but it’s still under development.
Sort of; there’s no first-class support for welcome messages, and message pinning isn’t ready to use yet, but we have a couple things to work with:
|
Sounds like there's nothing we can promise with matrix, but we can have a wishlist request for that might turn out something that works. Thanks! |
Are we good to close this issue out? Any other issues that need to be created? |
Agreed at 2021-09-16 finance/partnerships meeting. |
Maybe possible + info about graphical recording ask to be included in the prospectus coming? |
