Become a Sponsor
BarCamp Tampa (October 11-12, 2008) will bring together between 200 and 500 of the Tampa Bay area’s brightest and most motivated software developers, engineers, inventors, students, and entrepreneurs. By sponsoring BarCamp, you’ll be helping this community in a very direct and visible way.
No overhead: BarCamp Tampa is run by volunteers who aim to create a wonderful event for all who choose to participate. There is no cost for participants and, thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, we provide free breakfast, lunch, snacks, and T-shirts. When you buy a sponsorship, you’re contributing directly to this experience. And we want you involved at the event, too. Sponsorship lets everyone you meet know that your company has stepped up as an important supporter of BarCamp.
