Sponsor Patterns Day

Patterns Day 2 is sold out! Yay!

I didn���t even get the chance to announce the full line-up before all the tickets were sold. That was meant to my marketing strategy, see? I���d announce some more speakers every few weeks, and that would encourage more people to buy tickets. Turns out that I didn���t need to do that.

But I���m still going to announce the final two speakers here becuase I���m so excited about them���Danielle Huntrods and Varya Stepanova!

Danielle is absolutely brilliant. I know this from personal experience because I worked alongside her at Clearleft for three years. Now she���s at Bulb and I can���t wait for everyone at Patterns Day to hear her galaxy brain thoughts on design systems.

And how could I not have Varya at Patterns Day? She lives and breathes design systems. Whether it���s coding, writing, speaking, or training, she���s got years of experience to share. Ever used BEM? Yeah, that was Varya.

Anyway, if you���ve got your ticket for Patterns Day, you���re in for a treat.

If you didn���t manage to get a ticket for Patterns Day ���sorry.

But do not despair. There is still one possible way of securing an elusive Patterns Day ticket: get your company to sponsor the event.

We���ve already got one sponsor���buildit @ wipro digital���who are kindly covering the costs for teas, coffees, and pastries. Now I���m looking for another sponsor to cover the costs of making video recordings of the talks.

The cost of sponsorship is ��2000. In exchange, I can���t offer you a sponsor stand or anything like that���there���s just no room at the venue. But you will earn my undying thanks, and you���ll get your logo on the website and on the screen in between talks on the day (and on the final videos).

I can also give you four tickets to Patterns Day.

This is a sponsorship strategy that I like to call ���blackmail.”

If you were really hoping to bring your team to Patterns Day, but you left it too late to get your tickets, now���s your chance. Convince your company to sponsor the event (and let���s face it, ��2000 is a rounding error on some company���s books). Then you and your colleagues need not live with eternal regret and FOMO.

Drop me a line. Let���s talk.
