Sounds like an excellent resource. Talk to NumFocus - I'm sure a lot of PyData
conferences would appreciate information on how to increase sponsorship
locally. I've Bcc'd the admin there, so you may be approached or you can use
your own connections, I'm sure.
Kind regards
Steve Holden

Hey all, I've learned a lot with sponsorship sales for PyCascades last year,
and now with Eloisa Tran chairing our sponsorship sales this year.
Wondering if there'd be interest in participating in training for groups
around the Python community?
For PyCascades, we were profitable as an org our first year. Eloisa joining as
our leader of sponsorship sales, we doubled, we may triple our gross revenue.
One example tactic I can share –
Eight days before the conference meets on February 23, I sent out reminder
emails to past supporters of PuPPy, my group in Seattle
The email copy was targeted to remind past supporters of PuPPy, we are hosting
PyCascades in Seattle this year
Please alert their staff that we are approaching sell out
Got 15 new registrations that totals in about $2000 in additional revenue
A silver level sponsor for $8000
My goal would be to include as many concrete examples like this in the
training. Eloisa was trained by the Anita Borg Institute to lead sponsorship
sales for Grace Hopper Conference. She donated $250k to numFOCUS running
sponsorship sales for PyData Seattle 2017, with about 800 attendees.
Let me know. I'll collaborate with Eloisa to create curriculum to share with
everybody.
What does everybody think?
