Swag & Sponsorship Best Practices
Sample sponsorship email from Max Ogden
At some Node conferences around the world for the last 6 months (NodeConf US, NodeConf EU, CampJS Australia) myself and other collaborators have been teaching NodeSchool workshops to conference attendees. Cumulatively we've taught just over 1000+ adults in person, with another few thousands downloads from nodeschool.io directly (people doing them at home on their own time).
I really like the event format because it's highly collaborative, and based on peer learning. Instead of the usual meetup format where everyone listens to a powerpoint, the workshop format we've developed engages everyone simultaneously, while also letting attendees progress through the workshop at their own pace.
We also invite mentors to come and float around the room helping people when they get stuck, in addition to encouraging people to ask questions to the person sitting next to them.
