sponsoring rflan:

Redflag Lanfest is Western Australia's premier gaming weekend. Over the last 4 years, Redflag has run over 23 events approximately every 3 months, each catering for up to 270 gaming competitors.

The Redflag network is state of the art, utilising industry-leading gigabit networking equipment so we can offer the lowest ping times for an optimal gaming experience.

Sponsoring Redflag Lanfest gives you the unique opportunity to showcase your products to over 200 of Perth's most talented gaming competitors. These are usually the IT decision-makers in their family and close network of friends.

Our most common form of sponsorship is in the form of donated products, which are given away as competition prizes at our events. Other sponsorship forms are also welcomed, such as cross-promotion, banner exchanges and monetary support.

For more information, or to discuss becoming a potential sponsor, please email sponsorship@rflan.org, or call Garry on 0400 006 637.

the redflag approach to sponsorship:

The Redflag approach to sponsorship is unique to our industry. Sponsorship is not a donation - instead, we work together with our sponsors to build a specialised and relevant sponsorship package in order to deliver the maximum commercial return to the sponsor.

By using this approach, our aim is to develop a mutually beneficial and long-term relationship with our sponsors.

Redflag are proud to acknowledge the continued support of Computer Village Rentals as our major sponsor, a relationship that has gone from strength to strength and is now in its 4th year!

redflag helps smaller groups:

Redflag Lanfest currently owns much of the equipment needed to run a successful LAN event, including network infrastructure, power infrastructure and canteen fixtures. We also have close relationships with a number of industrial suppliers in the Perth area who can supply additional equipment needed to run an event.

Our entire inventory of equipment can be rented by other computer groups and events. Additionally, our staff can help set up and run events for a negotiable charge.

Please see our hire page for more details, or contact us for more information.

Redflag Lanfest has recently sponsored the following small community events:

Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd. started its core business based on our extensive knowledge of PC thermal management during the era where the area of performance CPU cooling was only exclusive for "overclockers" or PC enthusiasts. With the company's initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis's atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unti which provided users full control over computer's thermal management system. Today, Thermaltake has grown into a world-class company with state-of-the-art testing and R&D facility based in Taiwan along with 60+ engineers and ID team covering each application segment such as Liquid Cooling, Air Cooling, PC Enclosure and Power Supply for main-stream users, high-end solutions, system integrators and industrial applications; thus achieve Thermaltake's company motto, " COOLall YOUR LIFE"!

Razer collaborates with gamers to develop, manufacture and market cutting-edge gaming peripherals utilizing proprietary technologies that give gamers the competitive edge. We reinvented the computer gaming industry by bringing this competitive edge to gamers when professional computer gaming was in its infancy. In the mid 90s, with the advent of networked gaming and competitive first-person-shooter (FPS) games, gamers found that their legacy peripherals were inhibiting rather than enhancing their gameplay.
