Is there really much problem with clashing with InterGeo? Might be worth polling past delegates. What are the implications of moving to September</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Sponsorship</b></div><div class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b></div><div class="">There is a massive difference in sponsorship expectations</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bonn sponsorship is very cautious at €41.5k which is good at this stage, can you give a slightly more optimistic feel for what you think you might achieve in x Platinum, y Gold type format - no names although I would expect you to be able to confirm a 2:1 target ratio minimum (i.e. if you think you will have 2 Golds you need a minimum of 4 targets to approach)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dublin sponsorship is very ambitious at €198k particularly as you also intend to charge €40k for exhibition space. How have you arrived at these figures? Note that 2013 was an exceptionally fortunate year which may not be a basis to model your sponsorship in Dublin. If you only achieved the Bonn level of sponsorship and exhibition income you would make a crashing loss, how can you mitigate this risk?<br class=""><div class="">
