I'd like to sponsor, what are the next steps?

Thanks in advance! If you don't have additional questions, few easy steps:

1) Provide branding info

2) Pay via credit card or write Grace to request an invoice

3) Execute sponsor's agreement

4) Sit back, relax, watch the tweets come in, and start thinking about your in-conference presence in mid-July.

How do I maximize my exhibit space and time?

Now: Committing earlier will ensure that you get a table with better location and easy access to electrical outlet.

A few weeks before: Get a branded tablecloth for your table and bring a pop-up banner that fits behind your table. Gold or Diamond Level Sponsors should print an additional 36"x84" pop-up banner to gain visibility on the main stage. The photos from past PyBays may help you get an idea of the layout.

Where should I mail the booth swag material?

Please follow the labeling and shipping instructions here.

*Please note that this instruction is for shipping booth swag (banner, giveaways, etc.), if you are planning to ship oversized items and furniture, please check with Grace.
