Sponsorship @ birmingham 2006 (Score:1)
Hi, thank you for the kind remarks made about our prospectus.
Organising a multi-tracked three day conference is a pretty large undertaking, and involves managing a large budget, with many variables. In order to keep the conference fee low, raising sponsorship is an essential part of the undertaking.
We're sorry you found some of the costs above your expectations, but if you are interested there may be other items you can help out with - lanyards being one of the many things that springs to mind.
As a potential sponsor, we are very interested to hear feedback, and would invite you to write to us at organisers@birmingham2006.com with your opinions.
Good luck with your bid for 2007, and can we take this opportunity to extend the hand of friendship in offering support and sharing our experiences with you should you be successfull.

I can however inform you that I am now officially sponsoring the Nordic Perl Workshop [perlworkshop.no] (I just got my website [logiclab.dk] up and running again) - and I am investigating becoming a lanyard sponsor for the YAPC::Europe in Birmingham.
