Hello BarCamp’ers!
Can you believe it is only 13 days until RE BarCamp Seattle?? WOW!
The #rebcsea planning committee is putting the final touches on plans for the upcoming event… and wanted to let you know about a couple of updates and a brand new addition to our day!!
After much deliberation and conversation, the committee has decided to forgo a ‘bling/giveaway’ this year… Our non-profit partner, Solid Ground, is in tremendous need of assistance this year – and our community at large needs food more than you, our dearest participant, need another mug, t-shirt, or keychain. The committee trusts that you will agree.
In lieu of honoring our sponsors with their names on ‘bling’ the plan is to enhance their vendor table display area, as well as host a special “Sponsor Spotlight Session Track” to spread the word about their products, tools, resources!
Many of our sponsors will be hosting drawings, giving out their very own bling, and sharing how they may be able to fulfill your business plans and visions!
We encourage you to stop by these Spotlight Sessions and the vendor area to say “hello and thank you” to the peeps in the room. They keep the event FREE… and allow us to donate to our community in need!
The committee looks forward to seeing you all in less than TWO WEEK!
psssttttt….
Have you put on your thinking cap yet?
Any idea about WHAT you want to SHARE?
How about what you want to LEARN?
It is never too early to start getting your thoughts together…

I think this should be a fun opportunity for sponsors (including myself!) to have a moment in the spotlight. The amount of “spot light” time that a sponsor will have may be determined by how many of the sponsors decide they want to take part. If every sponsor wants to do a presentation, we may each get 10 minutes, if just 10 sponsors want to take advantage of this opportunity, the time may be 20-30 minutes.
We sponsors need to respond to Debra asap so we can start planning
