***Lodging***
There are currently 35 spots open at the Hampton Inn, and only 10 spots left at the Lakeway inn! Space is filling up quick, so register and secure your hotel quickly! Mention Linuxfest northwest to get our preferred rate.

***Presentations***
LFNW presentations are a big draw. They are informal and content rich. If you are interested in something, chances are good that others will be too. Please consider sharing your knowledge and experience; there is no better venue. If there is a topic that you want to be addressed, click on the “Contact” link and let the Organizers know. Popular topics will be posted later in a forum for people wanting to present.

PRESENTATION PROPOSALS ARE DUE MARCH 15TH, 2013.

For additional details and application to present visit: http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/present

***Sponsors & Exhibitors***
Generous sponsors make it possible to offer LinuxFest Northwest with no admission charge to the exhibit, presentations or the Saturday evening after-party. Since its beginning, the Fest has been supported with an outstanding venue at Bellingham Technical College. Other sponsors are featured on the LFNW website from the time they become a sponsor until the following year’s website goes active. Become an LFNW Individual Supporter and prepay some Fest discretionary expenses.

If you are a platinum, gold, or silver sponsor, please indicate if you'd like a booth space.

FOR FULL SPONSORSHIP EXPOSURE, PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE MAR 1ST, 2013.
