BarCampBrighton4, September 5th & 6th September, 2009
The Old Music Library, by Matt Weston.
We’re extremely pleased to officially announce the dates for BarCampBrighton4; September 5th & 6th September, 2009. Once again it’s the weekend immediately after dConstruct. What’s more, we’re really excited about our fanatastic new city-centre venue. Directly opposite the Corn Exchange, BarCampBrighon4 will be held in the old Music Library on Church Street; currently an art gallery and somewhat down-at-heel, it’s the perfect Brighton venue. “Derelicte” if you will.
Tickets will be released in tranches. We’ll announce the ticketing dates the week commencing August 3rd. Make sure you’re following us on Twitter! We’ll have reserved tickets for first-timers, students, girl geeks, and other groups. Details on these will accompany the ticketing announcement.
Sponsors
Our last-minute change of venue away from Sussex University has meant that we’re running close to the wire on the sponsorship front. We’re really chuffed to be supported by Yahoo Developer Network as our first sponsor, but we need more!
The sponsorship package is as follows:
Gold £2000 – 2 slots. Each Gold sponsor gets 4 alloted tickets.
Silver £1000 – 4 slots. Each Silver sponsor gets 3 alloted tickets.
Bronze £750 – 8 slots. Each Bronze sponsor gets 2 alloted tickets.

Microsponsors
Following last years successful model of local micro-sponsors, we’re once again looking for £100 donations from freelancers and micro-businesses. If you’re a Brighton company and would like to help the Brighon geek-tech-hack-startup-social-design-gaming-mobile-robot-photo-blogging scene, or indeed, if you’re a local geek-tech-hack-startup-social-design-gaming-mobile-robot-photo-blogging business and feel like you have benefitted from the events that the community runs, why not give something back and help some others. It would only take 70 microsponsors to pay for the whole event!
All microsponsors will get their logo on the BarCampBrighton website plus all signage and literature.
If you’d like to become a microsponsor, please get in touch with Jay Caines-Gooby jay@gooby.org or call him on 07956 182625.
Thanks to our first four microsponsors; Web Positioning Centre, Latitude Hosting, The Skiff and emosaic.
