Our doors are open for sponsorships. Come and make our day…
What For?
BarCamp is a grassroots web conference - run by the community, for the community. All the organisers are volunteers, everyone comes for free, and the venue, equipment, food and drink are all donated by companies and individuals like you. Would you like to help us out?
The Event
On September 6th and 7th, BarCampBrighton3 will be held at the University of Sussex. Following on immediately from Brighton’s annual dConstruct web conference, we’ll have 36 hours of talks, coding, socialising and all manner of other activities.
We’re aiming for 180 attendees, and we need to raise money to cover the University’s staffing costs, as well as food and drink. Sponsorship is a great opportunity to support the community and to be recognised as a contributor to the local web industry.
Sponsorship
BarCamp events are blogged in great detail, giving excellent coverage to all involved. Sponsors can expect to enjoy the gratitude of a well-connected community of local, national and international talent.
We’ll be giving away some much sought-after tickets to larger sponsors, so you can enjoy a great opportunity to network and get to know all these talented people.
