BarCamp will help Internet leaders and active social members with similar goals to establish strong interrelations.
The experience of previous BarCamps shows that this format is optimal to gather sponsors, professionals and amateurs of new media in one place. With an informal atmosphere of the event, it is much easier to establish new partnership relations on any level.
Financial support is needed for:
- Transportation for foreign participants (chosen by us) or guest speakers (offered by you). Transportation for foreign participants is the main part of our budget. Our task is to create a platform for experience exchange. Therefore, success of our event depends on the quantity of foreign participants.
- Internet (Wi‐Fi). Internet is needed for organization process, during the BarCamp itself, and after the event for technical assistance for NGO’s.
- Exclusive t‐shirts with BarCamp logo and list of sponsors for participants
- Other costs (stationery, handouts, coffee break, etc.)
We will be very glad to hear any other proposals on behalf of your organization.
