FAQ’S & STATS

STATS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can I commit to sponsorship now but pay closer to the event? Yes; however, your benefits will not be activated until we receive payment. Moreover, special packages will not be held for you. All benefits are first-come, first-served based on the date we receive your payment. Music City Tech (MCT) is a non-profit event completely run by volunteers. We simply don’t have the bandwidth or bankroll to deal with Accounts Receivable.

What if I have a great idea for a sponsorship opportunity that is not listed? MCT is about engaging attendees. Do you have an idea for a unique event that you’d like to have your company organize and run at MCT? Pitch the idea to us and we’ll work with you to help you put on something educational, helpful, or just plain fun.

Who is Music City Tech? The MCT conference is organized by a group of developer community leaders who have collectively formed a minority-led non-profit organization in the state of Tennessee (TN Control 000822893). MCT organizers are volunteers, and all proceeds collected from sponsors go towards the conference and its related expenses.

Are there any booth restrictions? Exhibiting sponsors will receive a table, chairs, and power strip with their booth space. We encourage our sponsors to think out of the box when designing their booth, and are happy to help with any special requests. To ensure safety of all of our attendees, your exhibit must fit into your designated booth space. Tall pop-up banners need to be on the floor, and not placed on the table.
