What do people think of a hard deadline for sponsorship requests? People who get denied sponsorship are then unregistered (so that they can register again, without requesting sponsorship if they still intend to come). We don't want to get to the situation where half the attendees drop out a few weeks before the summit.
As an initial suggestion for a date: no sponsorship requests will be considered after, say, Sunday, 6th September?

Agreed. In fact I'd be even more conservative.
I also hope that decision-makers will reach out to us candidates with questions regarding qualifications if there are any... prior to the decision deadline.

I'm hoping to have the first batch of acceptions and rejections out in the next few days.

I suspect the budget can scrape to £129 for a new N810, anyway!

Hmmm... will this help or hurt my massive PR campaign?
I need to consult with my consultants.
That is, if for what ever reason an applicant is not sponsored; any subsequent posts on this board from said applicant that bemoan that fact or contain sniveling, woe is me, "I'm taking my ball home and not playing anymore" type content will be deleted by the moderators.
