In keeping with the original intent, Blogtoberfest is more of a social event than a business event. Sure, if you are attending to get the word out about your blog or company – please feel free to talk about your company or blog, what you do, how you work, etc. However, presentations and formal pitches are not allowed! We are here to reconnect on a more social level – get back in touch with old blogging friends, meeting friends in person for the first time, learning about blogs/people and, yes, even companies we didn’t know were out there.
That being said – there are sponsorship/promotion opportunities! After all, it does take some money to run these events and help is always appreciated! (And it should go without saying that, as always, all money collected in sponsorships goes directly to covering the costs of the event.)
A BIT ABOUT THE EVENT AND ATTENDEES
Boston Blogtoberfest is brought to you by Boston blogger Jenny Frazier. It’s a chance to put down the mouse, step away from the keyboard, and meet some of your favorite Boston area bloggers face to face in a casual setting. In 2006 we had 40 attendees, in both 2007 and 2009, attendance doubled to 80 attendees. 2010 is breaking all kinds of records. Originally 100 tickets were available for this event, but we “sold out” in 4.5 hours. An additional 50 tickets were released two days later. These sold out in 5 hours.
Our Boston-area bloggers include anything from tech bloggers to foodie bloggers to fashion bloggers to fitness bloggers and everything in between! Just like the diversity present in the city of Boston, our bloggers have a diverse range of interests.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
Monetary contribution to help cover event costs OR donation of raffle prize in the monetary equivalent. Raffle will happen 30 minutes before the end of the event, winners must be present!
