How to Sponsor an HJUG Meeting

In order to sponsor a meeting, you need to provide:

  • Some food, such as pizzas
  • Some non-alcoholic refreshments, such as sodas
  • A door prize or giveaway to attendees

In return, you have five minutes at the end of the meeting to talk anything you would like to communicate to our members. You can also freely distribute flyers, brochures, CDs and other promotional items. If you stay after the meeting, you will be able to network with our members.

The number of members varies greatly depending on the topic, the speaker and other considerations. Thank you for your interest in HJUG! Please contact the HJUG Officers if you are interested in sponsoring a meeting.

Ordering Food
Papa John's typically works well. It is about $150 - $170 or so for 12 large pizzas and 6 2-liter sodas, and is more than enough to feed 25 people, but just enough for up to 35 when we have a really good turnout. Order a mix of cheese, veggie pizza, and pepperoni & sausage as well (1/2 cheese/veggie & half meat topping, or thereabouts). They often discount the price if the pizzas are ordered in advance. Please be sure to ask them to send along paper plates as well.
The closest Pappa John's is on Chimney Rock, and their number is (713) 953-7888

Other cuisine has worked well in the past -- one sponsor catered fajitas and it was a hit!

How to Present to an HJUG Meeting

Presentations should be technical, related to Java, and should last one-hour. In order to present to a meeting, you need to provide:

  • Abstract of your presentation, including source code
  • Bio of the Speaker
  • Contact information you would like to display on the main page of the HJUG web site

Most of the speakers also sponsor the meeting but sponsorship is not required. Please contact the HJUG Officers if you are interested in presenting at a meeting.
