Sponsorship:</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Sponsoring this event ensures that it stays affordable and any surplus from the event goes towards supporting the day-to-day activities of the organisation, like bookkeeping and web hosting, but also in funding micro-grants and sponsoring community projects.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The FOSS4G regional conference gets global visibility, and sponsoring is a great way to reach a wide audience of enthusiastic and engaged open geospatial practitioners across Oceania.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Sponsor benefits range from website placement, inclusion in promotional material and placement in presentations and communications such as this.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Please reach out to anyone on the conference committee if you’d like more information, or email us directly at sponsorship@foss4g-oceania.org</div>
