I recommend timing the conference to be around the same time as the 25BTC reward reduction. Either shortly before so people can talk preparation, or shortly after (better, IMHO) so people can talk lessons learned.
This is London, so "lessons learnt"

Part of the reason we will not release all sponsorship plans at once is because we are still looking into prices of certain things and what types of sponsorship we will guarantee. There is no cut off point for the sponsorship and people/companies can be a tier 1 sponsor without being a tier 2 sponsor and visa versa (tier 2 without being tier 1). You could also sign up for tier 1 sponsorship a month before the conference and that wouldn't be a problem.
A very basic example of this is that, until we have the venue booked, we will not know the physical limitations (we may allow for displays) or limitations which the venue operator may have in place. There are also other similar variables we have to work out which will hopefully resolve themselves once we find a venue.

Gotcha! Thanks for clearing it up

Why not just have Silver, Gold, Platinum like everyone else does?
It makes it so much easier.
I hear you, Im not trying to come off as condescending. I just had lunch with Patrick last week and I had nothing but praise for the conference.
My point is, if I do this 9BTC sponsorship, whats to say you dont come out with a higher tier next week? I want to be your title sponsor, but I need to know that my spot is solid and it seems like 9btc is a little low.
Why not come out with all the available spots from the get go?
OK I know what you mean, and this is something that we were talking about before releasing this. So we don't plan to include lower tiers in higher tiers. Tier 2 will no include tier 1. So people will get to pick and choose what kind of sponsorship they like.
Nefario.

A total of 11 places for tier 1 sponsors are remaining. Places are secured once payment is made (this means that failing to make the payment will lose you your spot).

Is this a real sponsorship? I feel like 9BTC (about $45) isn't much for a conference of this magnitude, kind of feels cheap.
I want to be a top tier sponsor, should I be waiting for you guys to release the rest of the sponsorship opportunities?
Honestly in terms of the standard of running a conference, this isnt the way to do things.
Bear in mind this is the first tier of sponsorship(meaning more to follow), we want it to be accessible to everyone who wants to be a part of it. Also an update on that last post, there are no limits for the numbers of tier 1 sponsors(my mistake).
When we have the details of our next tier available we'll announce it.

if a tier 1 sponsor place is left, I'd take that

When will this be happened? I will go to London during Semtemper.

genjix is unaware that someone with multiple bitcoin related activities actually did buy a couple slots. Just an fyi to make sure his post isn't misread to imply any sly commentary.
March 11, 2012, 04:10:28 AM
We've added another two people to our tier 1 sponsors.
March 10, 2012, 04:33:27 PM
All tier 1 sponsors have been contacted for payment.
March 10, 2012, 03:44:11 PM
Yeah, Atlas is right. These are too cheap. I would buy 3 and put overly comical narcissistic slogans about myself on them.
But this isn't my area :p so I won't get involved or push it

I'll take the last one
Last 4BTC tier 1 slot gone.
Tier 1 slots are still available but at 9BTC, congradulations to the fast movers.
I'll be getting in touch over the details.
