HPfGU's Nimbus - 2003 Sponsorship Info Available

[heiditandy]

In about an hour, we're going to have our first of two chats about 
sponsorship - ideas, plans, expectations, etc. It'll be located at 
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/chat 

And to get everyone geared up for it, we're pleased to announce that 
the sponsorship flyer is now available at 
http://www.hp2003.org/sponsorship.pdf - it's only in PDF format for 
Acrobat at this point, but the HTML version will be up in the next 
few days. 

Most interesting for many of you will probably be the fandom 
sections:

If you think your web site's users would enjoy learning about and 
attending Nimbus - 2003, then we invite
you to become an Affiliate! From now until August 31, 2003, we will 
host a page on our website
where we acknowledge the support of all the fansites who provide a 
banner and link from their web site to our
main site, and a list of all Affiliates (as of June 1, 2003) will be 
available at the event for all attendees, speakers,
honored guests, and the press.
In the next week, we'll have banners available on the site and in a 
file folder here at the yahoogroup for HPFGU-Convention – you can 
choose the one that's best for your site. After you
upload the banner, visit the sign up page so you can list your site, 
the url on which you placed our banner,
and a sentence (up to 50 words) about your site. Then, we'll add you 
to our Affiliates Page at
www.hp2003.org/affiliates/ within a few days after receiving the 
information.

We're also going to have personal sponsorships, ranging upwards from 
the fifty dollar range, and we encourage fandom sites to consider 
sponsoring inserts in bags and possibly even an event or a giveaway.
At least one fandom site has already committed, and three others are 
discussing opportunities with us. 

Along those lines, exhibitor information will be out in the next 
week too, because I'm sure that some sites will want to have a table 
there to promote their site. 

If you have questions, bring them to the chat at 9pm Eastern TIme, 
or post them here after that!
