Our main goal is to provide ways for conference attendees to interact with and experience your company.  We aim for deep engagement with brands, and look forward to coming up with customized ways to meet a variety of marketing objectives.  In 2010, we have established a dedicated Interactive Subcommittee with the goal of implementing creative and compelling individual sponsorship programs.

Join the list of Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, and major players of Silicon Valley that have seen what >play can do for their company! We offer sponsorship levels for all company sizes, budgets, and involvement needs. Exposure on this website, in print, blogs, on t-shirts, signage throughout the event, hosting of events at >play, and mentions on the day of the event are only a few of the benefits we offer to sponsors.

Share your sponsorship goals with us and we will help you customize a sponsorship package that matches your budget and exceeds your expectations.  Contact our VP of Sponsorship, Katie Hoisington (MBA '11), to receive the revamped 2010 sponsorship package and learn more.

The >play conference is organized and led by the members of the Berkeley Digital Media & Entertainment Club (DMEC), which is an organization of MBA students interested in understanding, exploring and anticipating business opportunities found at the nexus of technology, media and entertainment. DMEC provides its members with the chance to learn about these opportunities and the broader business of digital media through a number of avenues, including:

* Conferences and speaker series (most notably the annual >play conference)
* Recruitment and company events within and beyond Silicon Valley
* Mixer events to connect with professionals and alumni in the digital media industry
* Company visits to explore summer internship and full-time opportunities (recent visits include Activision Blizzard, NBC Universal, and Warner Bros.)
