Note (Rough Sponsership Email):

Hello,

The KW Linuxfest would like to offer you a position to be an active sponsor. We are a homegrown conference who have been actively working to promote the use of Open Source Software as well as the Linux operating system.
We are hosting the conference in the beginning of 2018 and would like corporate involvement to be
able to help grow the conference and become more involved within the community.
If your company would be interested, your spot would include a board in the hallway as well as a booth. Any contribution is welcome.
The conference will be held on January 27th 2018 at Conestoga College. If you are interested please email sponserships[at]kwlinuxfest.ca.

We look forward to being able to share and promote open source technologies with the KW community.

All the best, the KW Linuxfest committee.
