WebBlast would only be a few people having a discussion in the corner of a remote hotel without the generosity and support of its sponsors. From those who come armed with a few gifts for the attendees, through to those sponsors who commit financial support over several webBlasts, our supporters are the lifeblood of the event and the foundation for a strong and healthy member base. Over the next coming events we hope to be able to do more with our sponsors, to expand their input into the community and look forward to your suggestions as to what you’d like more of at coming events.
