I am very much in favor of this, especially for our larger sponsors,
but there is one factor that holds me back from wholehearted
supporting it.
How would we handle redemptions without creating too much work for the
team? IE: I think we'd need to come up with some sort of tweak to
penta, that allows people who already have sponsored tickets to redeem
them, when registering for the conference.
Unless someone wants to volunteer for to work on this, I'd say let's
keep this as a wishlist item.
If however, someone does want to volunteer for this, I'd very much
like to see this happen, as it's very common for event sponsors to get
a certain number of comped tickets to technical conferences.

Agree with vorlon, we have enough places for logos as it is and is in
almost all certainty not going to change the outcome of our
fundraising efforts..
