One More Thank-You to Our Sponsors and Friends
Posted by kimra in Announcements on March 7th, 2010
The energy of InfoCamp Berkeley may be slowly fading into an awesome(pants) memory, but we have a few more people to thank before we’re done.
Our Outside Sponsors. One more virtual round of applause for Mozilla Labs, Create with Context, and Chaddus Bruce. Your support added so much to our event; words can’t express how grateful we are.
Our Internal Sponsors. The School of Information at UC Berkeley granted us use of the lovely South Hall and put up with countless questions (“Where do we order garbage cans?”) and last-minute requests (“Hey, can you print us a poster?”) along the way. The Information Management Student Association (IMSA) planted the idea for an event in the first place and stuck by our side as it evolved into the InfoCamp you saw. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
InfoCamp Seattle. Or should we call them InfoCamp International? The folks who started this whole endeavor taught us so much; we hope we can repay the favor some day. Rachel, Andrew, Kristen, and the rest: you rock.
Erin McKean. Erin, you were a delight. We couldn’t have imagined a better way to kick off our day than with your inspiring and entertaining presentation; I think we’re all Wordniks now. If we make good on Powerpoint Karaoke, will you come laugh at us?
Our Volunteers. You stuffed envelopes, fetched tacos, carried boxes, cleaned tables, and did it all with grace. Wear that blue fabric with pride.
All of You. InfoCamp can’t happen in a vacuum. Just check out the schedule board below: that’s you there. We loved meeting with you, chatting with you, connecting with you, and learning from you. We hope to see you in 2011!
InfoCamp Berkeley Seeks Sponsors
Posted by kimra in Announcements on February 23rd, 2010
There are plenty of ways to contribute to InfoCamp Berkeley — present a session, deliver a lightning talk, just show up to our sold-out event. But with a couple of weeks to go before March 6, we’re seeking a few contributors of a different kind.
We’d love to find a few great sponsors who can help us put on a fabulous InfoCamp. In exchange for your financial support, we can offer link and/or banner space on this website plus posters or other advertising on the day of the event — putting your company front-and-center in front of 80+ of the Bay Area’s most connected and enthusiastic information professionals. (Plus, of course, we’ll get you a ticket so you can come hang out and see the event you helped create.)
While we appreciate support in any amount, we’re specifically looking for sponsors for Saturday’s lunch and afterparty. Want to hear more about what that would entail and what we could offer you or your company? E-mail Heather Ford at hford@ischool.berkeley.edu and we’ll talk details. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
