A/V Sponsorships
After BSDCan 2024, the Audio/Video/Streaming Team made a commitment to drastically reducing A/V equipment rental costs by raising money to buy equipment for four conference tracks. They concentrated on streaming equipment in 2024 and succeeding in equipping four tracks. This equipment was soon put to work for additional community events such as EuroBSDcon, resulting in immediate savings. For 2025, the A/V Team is focusing on cameras packages, which cost approximately $2,500 USD per track. Thank you for your continued support!
NOTE: Direct payment of speaker travel and accommodations will count towards your sponsorship level. Speaker travel is one of our top expenses, and every form of contribution helps. Covering the cost of your organization’s speakers helps tremendously and we appreciate assistance for additional speakers!
