Note:

This is a “bring-your-own-sponsor” situation, like data centers bringing their own power. Capacity is lacking. New approaches are required. Technically, you are sponsoring and advertising for yourself, through this event-related channel. You are sponsoring either my presentations or content adjacent the UM and MWAC, not the UM or MWAC directly, though they may choose to be represented on content. Billings handled by JW/CE.

At a later date, with the potential Dallas event, it is “white label” with the nonprofit institution’s logo on content plus JW’s sponsors recognized in all official marketing, based on level. Billing runs through JW/CE, or potentially the nonprofit. TBD.
