Chapter spotlight:

Brisbane, Australia, held its April meetup last week, focusing on how to wrestle great storytelling out of mountains of text.

Co-organizer Simon Elvery, who helped re-launch the chapter earlier this year, said they’ve had most success finding sponsors by engaging with the community, especially through meetups coordinated with other groups.

”Essentially it was just through announcement at the first meetup. One of the speakers at the first event asked his employer about sponsoring H/H. We’ve also attempted to get sponsorship through directly sending a proposal to a local industry group. We’ve received some level of interest in sponsoring, but no agreement yet.”
