Welcome to the the planning phase of Copenhagen Twestival!

We've been working hard, albeit slightly under the radar, with the planning. It's the fourth time we're doing Twestival and our expectations obviously match the results we've seen during the previous events. So, here's a rundown of what we're thinking will happen this year:

• We will support BørneCancerFonden (Child Cancer Foundation) again. They're doing some really amazing work and we chose them as the recipient without any concerns at tall—we know they'll put the money we give them to good use.
• So, what is "good use" then? We have a goal of making a profit of kr. 100.000,- (we barely made it last time with kr. 94.000,-), and for that amount of money, BørneCancerFonden will be able to send approx. 25 kids on a summer camp.
• We are aiming at announcing one great presentation and one or two musical acts. To us, the combination of both something factual and entertaining is what makes a real Twestival night.
• We will have a lottery again, but with a few changes. The prizes we're aiming at announcing will be of substantial value, so there will be fewer than the last times. We'll make sure the quality makes up for the quantity.

We're still looking for a venue, but growing to approx. 400 attendees is a slight problem when you don't want to pay too much either. We'll keep pushing and have a range of great leads out—we'll keep you posted.

If you want to help us in the planning phase, we are always interested in hearing from people that can help with the following:

• Monetary sponsorships
• Prize sponsorships
• Helping out during the event
