This document is a 2015 partnership proposal from TEDxBend. It outlines various partnership levels ranging from $2,500 to $20,000. Higher partnership levels include more tickets to the event, invitations to special events, prominent logo placement, and opportunities to have a booth at the event. TEDxBend aims to build partnerships that surface and support great ideas by bringing together leaders from different fields in Bend, Oregon. The event will be held on April 18, 2015 at Bend High School Auditorium for 1,400 attendees.

SPREADING

2. TED
You & TEDx
Three words: Ideas. Worth. Spreading. We seek to build
partnerships that will surface, promote and support great
ideas. The concept is simple: create an immersive
environment where prominent local organizations, thought
leaders, and key enablers from vastly different fields can
cross-fertilize and draw inspiration from the unlikely place.
This foundation of partners, speakers, and influencers forms
the basis of the community we are actively building in Bend,
and we believe you would be a perfect fit.
