Recruiting agencies/recruiters for event sponsors? #12

Any strong feelings about that? I'm at a Javascript conference in Philly right now and their sponsors are all local staffing agencies. (To supplant, not replace companies for sponsors)

What seems to be the deal? Just displaying the agency's name in exchange for cash? Or somehow giving the agency (hopefully opt-in, or at least very clearly opt-out) info about the attendees?

Display agency name on marketing material (site/shirt/deck) + short pitch at event + informal hangout at event. No data provided about attendees in aggregate. We could change this format, though, that's just what I observed.

I know we discourage recruiters at events, but not sure if we've used (or want to use) them as a sponsor source?
