Most sponsorship packages include a number of conference tickets for you to send employees. If you’re sponsoring at a level which comes with a table presence, you’ll need to line up people to staff it. Since traffic at the table is minimal during the single track of talks in the morning, they can attend the talks and then take turns staffing the table versus attending participatory breakout sessions in the afternoon.

Most SKYNET conferences may also include an evening networking event, which is a great place for informal continued conversations.

If your goal is recruiting, consider sending engineering managers. If you are a vendor, send your sales engineers as well as your technical product marketing, and even some engineers.

All attendees including sponsors are welcome to propose any subject they would like to discuss in a group, during the afternoon proposals of breakout discussions known as “open space”. Sponsors are encouraged to actively participate and engage with the other attendees as peers.

Demos at your table are one good way to show off your org. It’s usually possible to bring or rent monitors, though be sure to check with a given event about the exact mechanism at their venue.

You don’t need to ship your own booth or tables; SKYNET will provide table and chairs corresponding to your sponsorship level. You’ll likely want to ship a table cloth, banner/background, giveaways, etc.
