As we enter the week prior to Ignite Portland, we are trying to finalize sponsorships to pay for food, refreshments, signage, and other miscellaneous costs associated with producing the event. 100% of sponsor dollars are used for event costs - the four organizers are all volunteers. At this stage, we only have two confirmed sponsors and I am waiting for final confirmation from an additional five potential sponsors that have expressed an interest.
With the attendee RSVPs having passed 150 on Upcoming, the costs to produce the event, especially where refreshments and food are concerned, have gone up.
If we are unable to obtain additional sponsors, we will have to cancel plans for food at the event, providing limited drink service only.
Please email me if you are interested in sponsoring Ignite Portland.
