Sponsorship
DrupalCamp LA is an annual Drupal community event, one of the largest in North America, bringing approximately 400 developers, themers, administrators and business people together for a weekend of professional development, fostering the Drupal community, and team building. The goal of DrupalCamp LA is to bring together the fun, smart, and open Drupal minds in the community. People learn, teach, and share. Our style might be similar to a Drupalcon, if not better with each year being free+cheap. Consider this a mini-con. ;-)
Sponsors provide LA Drupal with the support each year needed to put on such an event. Are you ready? Become a sponsor now!
Why sponsor?
If this is your first time sponsoring our annual camp, picture this: You benefit directly from Drupal and its strong community. Help build an even stronger community, resulting in a better Drupal. DrupalCamp LA is run completely by volunteers. In 2008, we spent $4,000 on providing wireless network alone! Venue costs are not small either. A lot of people come and we give away tons of prizes each day. We shoot video and offer it all free online … well you get the idea. It all costs a lot and we try to keep attendee costs dramatically low – usually free.
Our sponsors help make it really all happen. Your backing gets us to pay for the necessary costs. You get the idea. :)
Due to budget cuts recently experienced by state schools in California, however, UC Irvine’s costs have gone up, meaning our costs for the camp have also risen. We are charged with the task of raising upwards of $5,000 this year in order to fund the event our community has come to expect.
If you are a returning sponsor: Thank you!
What do Sponsors get out of it?
Simple. How about this: You support us, we support you. We feel it behooves everyone to know who stepped up to help make this event a reality. We do our best to make sure the community knows you gave back.
This year we plan to offer tables for sponsors, in the lobby area of the conference center. We cannot hang anything on the walls, but digital graffiti is encouraged. There are a few more intimate details we’d can share with serious sponsor investments, so please contact us after reviewing our wonderfully priced sponsor packages below.
