The first thing to decide is whether you want to engage ConCom and thus get approval for the use of ASF trademarks. In return we can call on ConCom and PRC to help publicise the event through the official ASF channels. Note that this will mean the event is open to the public as a whole. Does the JISC (your current sponsor) wish to target this event at a specific group of people or are they happy for it to be opened up to the general public. From my point of view both as a mentor and an advisor to the academic sector in the UK, I would strongly encourage the event to be open to the wider public. We can either seek additional sponsorship to cover costs outside the academic sector or we can charge non-academic participants a fee to cover additional variable costs. The key here is to develop a sustainable community and engaging with the commercial as well as academic sectors is a very important part of that.
