By sponsoring Ruckus, you will be hiring our services to serve your own staff, community, or clients. In some cases in the past, organizations were able to raise local, institutional, or governmental grants to pay the workshop fees and allow participants to attend and be trained for free. In other cases an individual or group would organize their own fee structure for participants to pay at affordable rates.

We are always interested in helping you explore options for reaching as many people as possible while maintaining the highest quality of instruction.

The following is a check list for sponsoring a RUCKUS workshop . We understand that you may not be able to meet all of the requirements, and we will be glad to come up with other alternatives with you. Please feel free to contact us at anytime to go over any of the requirements below.

Other points
We discourage bringing children under 13 years of age unless childcare is available. We do not allow observers in the workshop space. Please strategize your workshop schedule. (ie. Universities should avoid finals period, end of the year, before holidays; other groups should watch out for deadline times, holidays, and certain hours when participants might be tired or unable to attend).
