Breakfast + Lunch

Schedule Considerations

Can you afford lunch?

Is there easy access to food
for people to grab lunch?

Would they come back?

Could you have 3 morning sessions and end at lunch?

Shirts + Merchandise

After Party

Bank Account or Not?

Complicated by not-for profit
but not non-profit status

How will you pay for things?

Sponsors

Roller Coaster, yes, no, maybe so

Ask companies you already have a relationship with
Provide sincere compliments, but accept 'No'

Reach out to Edtech Startups for swag.
They might not have much,
but the exposure is good for them.

Local colleges with education programs
are a good place to ask for some $$$

Invite pre-service teachers to attend

Show Gratitude to Sponsors
