Sponsorship for upcoming web conferences
We’re happy to let you know about two very exciting (local) web events that are happening this autumn.
Barcamp Brighton 3. We are helping to pay for the staffing for this event which is being held at Brighton University.
‘BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats”, Wikipedia.
The event is free, with the only condition is that everyone should have a presentation to show. This way the information exchange and conversations resulting from each presentation can be maximised on.
You never quite know what will be presented or discussed at each event, that is the beauty of it. A really good networking event to meet new colleagues and possible clients.
Add yourself to the Barcamp Wiki if you want to attend, the weekend of 6th - 7th September 2008.

The second event we are sponsoring is Singularity 2008. This is a completely new event organised by local Brightonian Aral Balkan.
Singularity is a web conference with all of the traditional elements. They’ve a wonderful lineup of speakers, presentations, question and answer sections, and networking opportunities.
The twist is that the conference takes place everywhere — all over the world — and using the Internet to tie it all together.
Being environmentally friendly web conference is something that definately appeals to us: saving on thousands of flights and the resulting carbon emissions by having speakers and attendees interact with the conference locally over the web.
We look forward to participating, on October 24-26th 2008. Put it in your diary and see how the event unfolds online!
