# Sponsoring a Meetup #
|
|
I run 4 meetups in DC Tech community with the purpose of creating a community
|
|
where attendees learn from each other, share experiences and motivate each
|
|
other to sharpen their technical skills finding time for that side project.
|
|
|
|
As these events are not run for profit we need a venue to meet and some food
|
|
and drinks for our members. So we look to sponsors to provide these in exchange
|
|
for the sponsor being able to promote their brand or offering at the start of
|
|
the meetup.

# Notes for our sponsors #
|
|
|
|
- For food Pizza is the standard but feel free to order anything else you want
|
|
just please make sure there is a vegetarian option.
|
|
Even better if there is carbs free and/or gluten free option
|
|
- For drinks the standard is beer and some variety of soda
|
|
- To know how much food and drinks to order please look at the meetup page for
|
|
the event the day before and make sure there is enough for around 50% to
|
|
60% of the RSVP to the event as a guideline.
