Sponsor

The summit relies on forward-thinking donors to help cover costs of venue, catering, multimedia and more, so that we can keep ticket prices low, and ensure that we can offer a truly open, accessible forum for open hardware enthusiasts.

Notes on logo display:
• Our website sponsorship wall is organized into “bricks” this year. In other words, the site view is divided into rectangular units which are the grid into which logos will be placed, based on sponsorship level. Therefore, a 16 brick logo will be twice as large on the page as a 4 brick logo. One Brick is 70 Pixels X 30 Pixels on the website.
• The sign-in area at the conference will be decorated with a banner welcoming attendees, and listing sponsor logos according to their sponsorship level.
• The Digi-badge is a graphical badge that all donors have the option to display on their websites. Different donation levels get different badges.
• The chair will work with your organization to ensure and confirm that your logo is optimally formatted for all types of display.
