Ultimate Answer – $5000

Position your brand at the center of life, the universe… and BayCon 42.

With the Ultimate Answer Sponsorship, you’ll enjoy unmatched visibility and one-of-a-kind engagement opportunities throughout the convention weekend. This singular sponsorship tier offers the kind of recognition even Deep Thought would need 7.5 million years to calculate.

Only one available… because, as we all know, there’s only one 42.

• Prime Signage Placement: Your logo will be featured prominently in our main reception hall—the crossroads of Registration, Main Stage, eGaming Hall, and the Marketplace. First impressions… made repeatedly.
• Stage Integration: Enjoy featured placement on both Main Stage and Chaos Stage step-and-repeat banners; if someone’s taking a photo or shooting a video, you’re likely in it.
• Omnipresent Marketing: Your brand will appear across BayCon 42’s website, official program booklet, and all primary print and digital promotional materials.
• Lanyard Co-Branding: Every non-VIP badge comes with a lanyard… and every lanyard comes with your logo. Hundreds of necks, thousands of glances.
• VIP Access: You’ll receive invitations to exclusive receptions and networking sessions with creators, innovators, and interdimensional minds.
• Badge Allocation: Four (4) VIP Badges and Eight (8) Full Weekend Badges—share with your team, guests, or your favorite carbon-based lifeforms.
• Custom Integration: Want to sponsor a room? Curate a vibe? Embed your brand in a mysterious artifact found in the green room? Let’s talk… custom activations are available by request (and negotiable based on complexity).

Deep Thought – $2500

Support BayCon 42 with elegance, impact… and a highly intelligent touch.

As a Deep Thought Sponsor, your brand joins a select group of partners tapped into the convention’s neural network. This tier offers meaningful visibility across event spaces; thoughtful placement on stage; and integration into the digital and printed fabric of BayCon 42—all without waiting 7.5 million years for results.

Only three sponsorships available; think wisely… then act quickly.

• Strategic Signage Inclusion: Your logo will appear on secondary signage throughout the venue; consistent visibility where attendees least expect it, but most need it.
• Stage Banner Presence: You’ll receive featured placement on the step-and-repeat for one of BayCon’s main stages (Main or Chaos); or shared placement across both for maximum reach.
• Multichannel Recognition: Be included in our website’s sponsor section, event marketing materials, and the official printed program guide—covering both the casual scroller and the analog purist.
• Networking Access: Rub elbows, exchange theories, or simply enjoy the buffet at a sponsor-only gathering with guests and fellow supporters.
• Badge Package: Includes Two (2) VIP Badges and Four (4) Full Weekend Badges; perfect for your team or companions who want to explore the con in style.
