Code Camps are community driven events that run on a minimal budget and as such, rely on sponsorship from developer-centric companies. I am responsible for connecting with vendors and organizations to acquire sponsorship to fund the events, speaker dinners, attendee parties and the raffles. While anyone is allowed to submit one or more sessions, it's important to have community leaders and industry experts as VIP speakers. I scout and reach out to potential candidates based on relevant trends and inform them about the event and offer an invitation to present a session.
