Support the Crowdfunding Pavilion at Raleigh SPARKCon 2015!
Greetings SPARKCon festival visitors! Do you want to meet live and in-person some excellent NC Triangle crowdfunders who have created crowdfunding campaigns for some awesome creative projects like documentary videos, education projects, dance and music, and charity projects? Are you ready to help support our creative community with the projects that appeal to you? And have fun doing it? Then you will love to see this year’s geekSPARK Crowdfunding Pavilion, because you will have a chance to meet the crowdfunders, see the projects, get your questions answered, and even donate to the projects that you like.
Here is what you need to know.
The SPARKcon festival is a unique opportunity for local artists, musicians, writers, and creatives of all types and the Raleigh community to grow the Triangle’s creative potential. Thousands of visitors come to SPARKcon every year. This year we will add a geekSPARK Crowdfunding Pavilion where selected Triangle crowdfunders with active crowdfunding campaigns will have the opportunity to showcase their crowdfunding campaigns directly to the visitors at SPARKCon. Tents and display tables will be set up along Davie Street next to Fayetteville Street. The geekSPARK Crowdfunding Pavilion will be open during SPARKcon on Saturday September 19th from Noon to 6:00pm and on Sunday September 20th from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
We will also have an on stage showcase event on the main stage where crowdfunders will be able to give a two to three minute pitch about their crowdfunding campaign, and invite visitors to come to the Crowdfunding Pavilion for a closer look and to donate to the campaigns. The main stage Crowdfunding Showcase will be on Saturday September 19th from 4:30pm to 5:00pm. This will be a fun event for all. We are looking forward to meeting you at the Crowdfunding Pavilion!
