If I recall the monetary sponsorship was bronze level. So the bags would have to be worth CHF 8k. > And this doesn't really answer my question of the "worth" of the bags; how > much is it costing to provide 200+ high quality bags for the conference, > between materials, printing and other service costs? And, with our current > timeline, do we have to worry about how quickly they'd be produced? Agreed. When I looked online, the best estimate I could come up with for the costs of producing these bags was in the CHF 4-8 CHF range. Assuming ~300 bags and CHF 8 costs per bag, that's about CHF 2400, which would put it well short of Gold. (CHF 12000) I proposed the text I wrote, as the most expedient way I could think of to proceed. (As opposed to asking for and waiting for all Gold+ sponsors to sign off.) -Brian > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Patty Langasek > harmo...@dodds.net > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > At times, you may end up far away from home; you may not be > sure of where you belong, anymore.
