MenuHow do I create a conference concept document?
The goal is to have a document that I can present to potential sponsors, partners, etc, so that I can weather or not they have interest in the initiative.

Try an infographic but if budget/skillset doesn't allow use a word doc and create a pdf. Whatever you do keep it short and sweet and a better suggestion is to use the body of an email for the actual pitch and the attachment/one pager or close too with supplemental info. No one likes reading and this is just an opener so they get a feel - you can answer detailed questions in a call/meeting
In my experience it's tricky. I've been burned a few times by the "we totally love it, we're behind you" thing, until you actually need money :)
I'd say a document like that needs to address the following.
Audience (Community the event will serve)
Competition (which other events are out there, maybe a count, maybe their primary location, or size, etc)
If you can figure it out, demographic if likely attendee (I don't know this until after my events or at least after tickets start selling, but you might be able to do a survey)
I think lastly, what's in it for the sponsor? Either your full sponsorship options list, or a description, likely size of attendee pool, email blasts, etc.
Off the top of my head that's what I'd put into something like that, if i was making one

I have the following types of sponsorships for a conference I'm organizing: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and need a package bigger than Platinum.
Since you're already using metals for naming your packages: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum...it only makes sense to add a Titanium package. The names you are suggesting are good, but you'll need to change your naming convention to something like: Basic Partner, Standard Partner, Collaborative Partner, Exclusive Partner... Keep all naming conventions the same. I hope this helps.SB

How can I find ideas to keep people inside my booth in an event?
What you want to do is create a relationship with that new potential customer. People can only oo and ah for so long, so what you want to do is create a compelling offer to bring them in. This is why candy and treats often work. Whatever it is, make it instantly satisfying and memorable (homemade cookies, perhaps?). Then strike up a conversation about your product or service. Just remember to always keep the potential customer in mind.TB

How can I monetize my app?
When you say "2 platform app" are you referring to a multi-sided platform? or specifically a 2 sided marketplace? Like Uber that has a driver and a passenger? If this is the case I recommend you reading about multisided platforms — https://www.amazon.com.br/Matchmakers-New-Economics-Multisided-Platforms/dp/1633691721. Once you read it I will be glad to talk with you with this VIP link https://clarity.fm/mgalli/crack806-multisided but keep in mind I am not an expert, just a leaner too that can offer some little help.MG
