Dear Network, do you want to find out about this Agora\u2019s sponsors, partners and the path to gaining them? Well, here you\u2019ll find an interview with their lovely FR responsible \u00c1ngela Campos from AEGEE-Zaragoza.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The AEGEEan:<\/strong>\u00a0So first of all congrats for a very big number of sponsors that you guys got for this Agora. We would like to know more about if from the inception you had these in mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you a lot. The truth is that although if we are many people in the FR group, I didn\u2019t expect to find such a large group of sponsors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0You as FR head for this statutory event had a very important job, was it as challenging as you expected it to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course it was. When I accepted\u00a0to be FR Responsible, I\u00a0knew\u00a0that\u00a0it would be\u00a0hard. You can\u2019t give up when all the sponsors start to say no. You have\u00a0to\u00a0be full of\u00a0patience and motivation for going ahead with it.<\/p>\n

Besides, from the beginning we decided that fund raising\u00a0is\u00a0a task in\u00a0which we\u00a0must all participate and\u00a0to which no-one can remain indifferent\u00a0because we really needed to find funds to finance the cost of Agora. This fact\u00a0certainly made me feel\u00a0so supported by the rest of the core team.<\/p>\n

And the\u00a0only\u00a0thing\u00a0I can say right now is that\u00a0the work\u00a0it\u00a0all\u00a0became worthwhile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Let\u2019s talk about the place where the planeries\u00a0and sessions will take place: Palacio de Congresos de Zaragoza; was it easy to get the place for 800-1000 people?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually no. Zaragoza is not a very big city where it\u2019s really\u00a0difficult\u00a0to\u00a0find\u00a0\u00a0a place where it\u2019s possible to organize a big event like this. Because of that, from the beginning we wanted\u00a0Palacio de Congresos to host our Agora.<\/p>\n

4)<\/strong>\u00a0What about the implication of the Regional Government of Aragon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We would have like to be more supported by them but we do understand how the economic situation of our region right now is.<\/p>\n

5) You also have\u00a0some other partners like: ALSA, RedBull, Stylo, Orus etc. Can you tell us a little bit about each of them and their contribution to this great and challenging event?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Universidad de Zaragoza, Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza, Diputaci\u00f3n general de Arag\u00f3n, Instituto aragon\u00e9s de la juventud. They were crucial in preparing the Agora.<\/p>\n

ALSA and RENFE discounts were a great help for those participants that land in Spain and have to travel to Zaragoza.<\/p>\n

Orus, Pascual, Campofr\u00edo, Lind, Mart\u00edn Mart\u00edn, Azafr\u00e1n, Wrigley, Argal, Grupo Villar, Ma\u00f1ocao, Redbull, Primaflor, Helados Lic, Kaiku, Vigali, Arruabarrena, Lapasi\u00f3n, Comoencasa, Errea and Mercazaragoza: All of them have been essential for Agora because they contributed with their products specially for our breakfasts but also for the rest of the meals.<\/p>\n

Kemphor, Reysan, Puerto Venecia, ZLC, Cerler global electronics, Saphir, Balay, Las Ranillas Spa, Stylo digital, WIZI: They have contributed with their products to the welcome pack that will be so useful for the participants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would like to thank them for your supporting; we really appreciate it\u00a0in\u00a0times\u00a0like these. Without them, it would not be possible to manage to organize ZARAGORA 2013.<\/p>\n

And, of course, I would like to congratulate my dream team for all\u00a0the work undertaken in preparation for the\u00a0Agora.\u00a0I\u00a0am\u00a0proud of being able\u00a0to work with\u00a0all of you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See you soon in Zaragoza!<\/p>\n
