I also think we should reach out to these guys for any cross marketing:

http://www.thatconference.com/

Last year the conference had 600+ attendees. It'll be Aug 12-14th in the Dells, but many of the attendees are from the Madison and Milwaukee.

Also, Lance Larsen (https://twitter.com/lancelarsen) is a great guy to know and could help promote this to the .Net/Windows/MSSQL crowd.

 Notes From March 21st Barcamp Planning Meeting

Andrew Shell <and...@andrewshell.org> Mar 25 08:18PM -0500  

1. Discussed sponsorship money.
 
- $200 sponsorships should be easy.
- Also look for in-kind sponsors (e.g. food, T-shirts, space, etc.)
 
2. Marketing strategies:
 
- Keeping "Barcamp Madison" name and not switching to MadCamp or other
- Use other Festival events as feeders (FT Conf, HTHH, Cap Entreps)
- Update barcampmadison.org with embedded Eventbrite and self hosted
session registration
- Facebook Fan page
- Twitter strategy
- Articles
- "Keynote" presenters who'd draw a crowd
- Early commitments from presenters who can write about what they'll be
presenting on
 
3. Location, related to participation:
 
- College of engineering was best location yet.
- Last year petered out by 3/3:30.
 
4. Target Date
 
- August 17th
 
*TO-DO BEFORE NEXT MEETING DATE (toward end of April)

*Andrew:*
 
- Get numbers and budget from last year (as goals/benchmarks)
- Get list of last year's sponsors
