Everyone, The NANOG Marketing Working Group has been working hard to help NANOG find new profitable revenue to ensure the meetings keep getting better without raising prices. The group's most active members are:
Betty Burke (Merit, SC) Carol Wadsworth (Merit) Greg Dendy Dave Tempkin Martin Levy Martin Hannigan Sylvie Laperriere Steve Feldman (SC) Patrick Gilmore (Chair, SC) The group is making some progress on finding new, innovative sponsorship opportunities for the NANOG meeting which we believe will not interfere with the spirit of the meeting. These include: * Vendor Collaboration Suite Where vendors can allow hands-on experience with their equipment, one- to-one (or few), probably by appointment. This is our highest value sponsorship opportunity as it grants the vendor exclusive access to the NANOG attendees. $15,000/day * Lanyards A sponsor can have their name interleaved with the NANOG logo on the name badge lanyards. $4,000 * Water Bottles Get your logo on water bottles people will carry around during the conference! $ TBD * Break Slides Sponsor name & logo will be put up on the projectors during the break. Included in break sponsorship $ TBD * Party Promotion Sponsor's social activity is put onto the official NANOG agenda, announced at the mic at the end of the day it is occurring, and sponsor even has the option of providing tickets which will be handed out with NANOG collateral pack during check-in. $2,000 And more! We encourage feedback from the community on both our ideas and the implementation thereof. And, of course, anyone who wants to help out is encouraged to join the Marketing WG. We are in especially desperate need of a competent chairperson. :) -- TTFN, patrick _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
