Finding companies to host #8

Closed MMasey closed 4 years ago

MMasey commented 5 years ago

One thing i struggle with is finding companies to host, other than the one I work for. Where I am I don't have a lot of large digital based companies and I've got in contact with probably over 30 different agencies and I've only ever heard back from a handful, and only one of them have offered to host.

It would be great to hear what everyone else does to find different companies to host their workshops.

Great topic to discuss!

I try to avoid companies and work with non-profits or economic development groups. They're more likely to have space that's not used in the evenings and thrilled to have someone using the space, and they love being able to take credit for the programming.
