Two things I want to make sure to stress:
- Please don't sponsor LaidOffCamp as a favor to me. Do this if it makes sense for you or your business. I don't anticipate a shortage of sponsor interest.
- If I had to choose between you attending the event and you sponsoring the event, I'd much rather you attended.
