East Tennessee .Net Users Group – Sponsorship Information
Overview
East Tennessee .Net Users Group (ETNUG) is a non-profit organization dedicated to:
the education of local developers, the promotion of programming design principles,
the introduction of new technologies, and the increased cooperation of all IT professionals
within the greater Knoxville area. ETNUG has been active since 2002 and has enjoyed
steady yearly growth.
As a non-profit organization, our group is entirely reliant upon our sponsors for
our financial needs. We do not charge any kind of membership dues to our members.
In order to cover operating expenses, we accept donations from local and national
sponsors. As a way to show our appreciation for our sponsor's generous donations,
we offer our sponsors a unique opportunity to interact with and advertise to Knoxville's
rapidly growing developer community. By supporting the ETNUG, sponsors will not
only be spreading their messages with our members during regular meetings but will
also be able to share their company branding on ETNUG's public listings, including
the ETNUG website and ETNUG promotion materials.
Sponsorship Levels
ETNUG offers different levels of sponsorship: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Each level indicates the level of donation offered by the sponsor as well as the
opportunities offered to that sponsor. Sponsorship participation is evaluated every
year, with priority given to the previous year’s sponsors. Please refer to the 2nd
page of this document for a detailed listing of the sponsorship level.
During the summer months, ETNUG will hold its annual Sponsor appreciation event.
This event will involve a full or partial day event in which ETNUG will invite all
members and all sponsors to share a meal (prepared and provided by ETNUG) with the
sole purpose of allowing our members to mingle with our sponsors and get know them
better.
Conclusion
Sponsoring the ETNUG gives your company a terrific marketing channel to reach a
group of highly-motivated .NET technologists. You'll also be contributing to helping
the region's .NET community continue to grow and improve their skills.
