Alastair Graham and Ed Freyfogle sit down to discuss the challenge of securing sponsorship for geospatial and open-source events. Sponsors help keep ticket prices affordable, but organizers often rely on the same companies repeatedly and need to offer clearer, more distinctive benefits. They suggest longer-term and more creative sponsorship strategies, while encouraging larger companies that benefit from geospatial technology to give back through sponsorship, volunteering, and community support.
