Why do we need support?
Out goal is that the events we organise are accessible to everyone.
Because of this, we do not charge any fees to any attendee, because even a small fee can be too much for some people. So we ask to any business out there to help us to cover the costs of the meetups and events.
If you decide to support us, it will help us to grow and reach more people creating a much better experience for the local digital community in St. Albans.
Benefits
Sponsoring the meetups is a great way to give back to your local community, but it we want to give you something back too. As sponsor you will get the following benefits:
