I CAN’T COME 🙁
Don’t be sad, fellow men’s issues enthusiast! If you want to help the ICMI but are unable to come you can still be part of the action! Choose from one of the following delectable options. Your contribution to this fundraiser makes a huge difference in the success of ICMI 2019!
Speaker Sponsorship
Want to sponsor a speaker? There are two options! Click the button below to put in a bid in our Speaker Sponsor Bidding War! Highest bid wins first choice of speaker[1], second highest wins second choice and so on! In the case of a tie, the bid that came in earliest wins.
Current Top Bidder: Ragmer!
Or choose the “Speaker Sponsorship” level to your right! You will get your choice of speaker AFTER the Speaker Sponsor Bidding War participants have chosen.
Speaker sponsorships cover venue, accommodation and catering costs for speakers plus a gift basket of genius presented to your speaker with a card from you! In addition your name(or tasteful[2] nom de plume) will be featured as speaker sponsor on their name badge like so:
Volunteer or Delegate-in-Need Sponsorship
Want to make the ICMI a rip-roaring success? Of course you do! So help us get bums in seats by sponsoring a delegate-in-need. Or help us get the extra hands we need to manage the ICMI’s many, many, many tasks.
This sponsorship level covers partial cost of ticket + accommodation for a Volunteer. Or the cost of a ticket for two Delegates in need. If you want to be put on a list for any available delegate-in-need tickets, please send an email to:
admin@feedthebadger.com
[Please note, free accomodations not available for delegates-in-need at this time, you must be able to get yourself to the convention and afford your own accomodation!]

— FAQ — Q: I can’t decide between the Remote Ticket or going to the actual convention! HELP! A: If you’re able to attend the convention then make it a priority, although remote tickets will get a taste of the many flavours of ICMI 2019, you’ll miss out on the exhibit hall, evening events and live access to one of the streams of content(Remote tickets will get access to all content streams afterward.) As well as lots of opportunities to network with fellow men’s issues enthusiasts! In addition your presence at the convention sends a strong message about the support base for men’s rights and men’s issues in our community. If you can, enter meatspace and be counted!
Q: I don’t understand this Speaker Sponsor business, why are there two options? A: If you’re okay with sponsoring any speaker or don’t have a strong preference, just select the Speaker Sponsor level in the fundraiser. You will be matched up with a great speaker. If you DO have a strong preference, then put in a bid to make sure you get an opportunity to chose your speaker before everyone else!
Q: Where is the venue and hotel? A: That information is top secret for now but will be revealed closer to the event date. At that time, please confirm your hotel reservation and details!
Q: What’s the budget? A: Standard ICMI Budget is as follows: Standard ICMI Budget Venue 52k Travel 9.2k Legal/Insurance/Security 2.5k Equipment & Rentals 2.5k Website & Internet 2.5k Speaker fees 1k Misc. 1k Total(rounded up): 71k Badger Bonus Items for ICMI 2019: Swag 5.5k Exhibit 6.8k Event App 2.5k Program Book 5k Total(rounded up): 20k We want to make this the best ICMI yet, with tons of value added features!
Q: Why are you also doing a speaker sponsor and ticket drive? A: We’re projecting a shortfall of between 20 to 40k and I’d like to minimize the financial impact on Honey Badger Radio! 😀
Q: Why have you increased the goal amount?
A: Since we’ve made our initial 15k goal, I want to try for 20k and if we make that goal, we’ll try for 30k, right in the middle of the projected shortfall. And if we make that final goal of 30k, there will be some extra special bonus content the nature of which will be announced once we finish the second goal!
Q: Why did the amount go down!?
There’s a bug in the plugin where cancelled or failed pledges are added to the fundraiser. If you see the fundraiser go down, it’s because I’ve removed pledges that didn’t actually get applied to the fundraiser!
