The Patron Sponsorship Level is a way to help us volunteers create a better event and at the same time help someone from an underrepresented group or less financial capacity attend the event.
The 150€ ticket value is the approximately the real value an attendee costs to the organization, which is ran by volunteers. This help is extremely helpful to us, since it allows us to bring attendees that would normally not be in the event and at the same time help us meet our bugdet needs.
If you want to be a microsponsor but you won’t be attending the event or if you simply want to help you can purchase a Patron/Mecenas ticket and this will go into the pool of tickets that we will offer.

How is this different from a Microsponsor for the same amount of €?
A microsponsor is also listed in a specific part of our website, only the link, but it works as a ticket that goes to the microsponsor who purchased it. It’s a way for an attendee to pay the real cost and have their project linked if needed. They buy the ticket and attend the event. The Patron buys the ticket, but offers it to someone else.
Why pay 150€ for a ticket, if I can also offer a ticket to someone with 35€?
By paying 150€ the Patron is also helping the organization team meet their budget needs, since this would be the real cost of an attendee. The organization team is made of volunteers and we rely on sponsors to create the event. You will also get a thank you mention and link to your website on our website.
