The guys at BBC backstage have come on board as a sponsor and contribute towards the coffee, tea and snacks which will be available over the course of the event. Thanks guys!

Its great news that the BBC are involved in events such as these. BBC Backstage have been involved with previous BarCamps and will be continuing to support the grassroots community of designers and developers through a new set of initiatives starting at dConstruct. We should also keep an eye out for their joint Christmas party with locations in both Manchester and London, sure to sell out quickly.

I’m also looking forward to seeing the guys from BBC Backstage run sessions at our event, keep an eye out for them.

A quick post to let you know we are looking for 3 last sponsors to cover the cost of the opening breakfast, and two snack stations (tea, coffee and snacks 24/7 throughout the event). Sponsorship costs just £750 + VAT.

Sponsorship gets you the following (as well as the gratitude of all the attendees):

• a chance to place promotional materials at the snack station, or make an announcement during the breakfast, depending on what you sponsor
• a chance to place promotional materials in a swag bag, and posters etc around the event
• your logo in place on this blog, as well as a post about anything you want to promote, a post announcing your sponsorship, and a shout on the wiki and the twitter feed
• 2 tickets to the event, which will enable each attendee to give a 30 min talk about anything they like

If you think your company could benefit from sponsorship, or know anyone who would be interested in sponsoring drop me a line at kirby [dot] mark [at] gmail [dot] com

Madgex, the UK’s leading job board software company are heading into international waters. Already working in Asia and parts of Europe, they are exhibiting in both Chicago and Hong Kong next month. They say they chose to sponsor BarCamp again because it offers a great learning opportunity along with the perfect chance to hone presentation skills and to meet lots of talented people.

Madgex are currently recruiting, due to their ongoing expansion and have several vacancies available, all based in central Brighton. Be sure to go and have a chat with them during the event.

Our Sunday breakfast sponsors, Adobe, wanted to let you all know about an event they are running in London on the 28th August.

Flex Camp London 08 is a FREE, community-run event for everyone interested in Adobe Flex! Whether you’re just getting started with Flex or you’re an expert, Flex Camp aims to provide something for you.

We’ve lined up some of the most experienced Flex developers in the UK who will share their knowledge on everything from creating your first application, connecting to data, creating components and development best practices through to selecting an application framework for larger projects.

Flex Camp is an afternoon/evening event from 2PM and is being held at Conway Hall. It looks like there might be free pizza and beers from the agenda on their site (don’t quote me on that though) and there are some really interesting speakers, chances to show some of your work, and giveaways - could be well worth the trip.
