Sponsors?

There will be no sponsors this year as we have decided to finance the event completely on our own. We are immensely grateful for the support of our past sponsors as they helped ease the financial challenge of these events but, because you’ve all shown up consistently for the past few years, we feel very confident in meeting our numbers on our own moving forward.

Their absence does leave a hole in the in-person experience as they usually filled the lobby so we are trying something radically new this year: The Fan Zone! A collection of one-of-a-kind galleries, interactive exhibits, and multiple opportunities for attendees to engage with one another.
