The Board of Directors of Warpstock Corporation has placed a deadline on the receipt of bids from groups or individuals wishing to host Warpstock 2008.
All bids must be received on or before MARCH 15, 2008 by e-mail to: bids at warpstock dot org. Only bids received at this e-mail address will be considered.
This deadline has been set in order that adequate time is available for all the necessary planning and preparation to occur. This includes:
- planning by the Event Team to secure the venue;
- planning by the Speaker Committee to arrange presenters; and
- planning by the attendees to get to the site of Warpstock 2008.
Information about the bid process and the requirements for hosting a Warpstock event will be found on the Warpstock web site at:
http://www.warpstock.org/staticpages/index.php?page=bidproc and
http://www.warpstock.org/staticpages/index.php?page=BSO .
This bid should contain a list of the individuals involved, the city or area in which the event would be held, and the suggested time of year for the event. The letter of intent may contain any additional information about the proposed bid that the team wishes to share. It should also include the benefits of holding the event in their suggested location. This letter does not need to be in great detail about the proposed event, but rather, a commitment from the group about entering into the bid process.
The Board of Directors will remain in close contact with the Teams throughout the entire bid process, including final site selection. The Board of Directors contains a number of past Event Team members and will be available to provide support for any group wishing to submit a proposal.
Now is the time to start!
Let's make Warpstock 2008 a most memorable Warpstock!
