SPONSOR PACKET

Why sponsor SharePoint Saturday Baltimore?

The answer to that is not exactly a set in stone type response. There are business and financial aspects as well as emotional and community based aspects. The former are easier to explain then the latter so I’ll start there. Baltimore sits squarely between DC, Richmond, Philly and NYC and anyone going between those locations has to go through Baltimore. We have 5 fortune 100 companies in Baltimore as well as a very close nit Community. Any sponsor hoping to tap into the SharePoint market in Baltimore as a whole will not see a larger event specifically to Baltimore anywhere ever.

This year we plan to draw people from all over the region, just as we did last year with a sellout crowd. There will be high caliber speakers and eager attendees. YOUR company should be represented too!

Then there’s the community response. This SharePoint community is an ever revolving cycle that keeps us all employed and happy in our jobs. Think of it:

Microsoft puts out the product >
Companies adopt it >
Hire folks to solve complex solutions >
Folks leverage ISV products to help bridge the gaps >
End Users get the content to help them do their jobs >

Now inject the community aspect into this equation:

Somewhere between companies adopting the product and folks leveraging ISV, people need to be educated as well as introduced to your ISV. This gets your company in the door, the employee confident, the end user getting their job done and the company making money.

It goes round and round SharePoint Saturday’s is one of the vehicles where speakers and organizers have the genuine desire to just help people. That’s it. Just help people. They’ve dedicated their time and sometimes their own money to do so.

If you’d like to help support this cycle please use the form to the right and let us know. We’ll send you all the information you need to make an informed decisions and we sincerely hope to see you out at SharePoint Saturday Baltimore.
