Do we want to consider a lower level of sponsorship too?

    Hi,
    I’m planning on sending a sponsorship request to some small non-profit companies, notably OpenDAP and the HDFGroup. I’ll send them the standard packet, but I know $6,000 will be steep for them. Do we want to consider an informal “copper” level or something for those who can only contribute a couple thousand dollars?
    Benefits would probably only be
    – Listing on i nternationaldataweek.org
    – listing in pre­event communications
    – Opportunity to leave literature in designated areas
    Thoughts?

    Hi all,
    The comments I had on the sponsorship package was that the bottom bracket was too high.
    I would be in favour of an informal copper level as described.
    Best wishes,
    Simon.
