OHUB is excited about our upcoming OHUB.SXSW and HBCU@SXSW programming, March 12-16, 2020, Austin, TX. In its 5th year, OHUB.SXSW is SXSW's largest diversity, equity & inclusion experience for college students, young and experienced professionals, founders, investors, ecosystem builders and beyond. In 2020, the goal is to sponsor 500 students and host 500 professionals, founder, investors & ecosystem builders. Collectively, we want to ensure that every student is placed at a leading high growth technology company committed to their advancement and upward mobility as they seek to find their path in the future of work, fourth industrial revolution, startup ecosystem and beyond. Each year, more than 500,000 attendees experience amazing keynotes, hundreds of panels and exclusive networking opportunities that provide buzz-generating exposure and opportunities to engage with decision makers in the innovation economy. In 2016, OHUB sponsored 50 students to go to SXSW. In 2017, 100 students from 41 colleges and universities were sponsored. In 2018, 150 students from 60 colleges and universities were sponsored. In 2019, 252 students from 100 colleges and universities were sponsored. Ninety (90%) of the students that attend HBCU@SXSW are placed in paid summer internships or permanent jobs. The total estimated economic output to date is $10,000,000. In 2020, we want to provide scholarships to 500 students with the support of 500 corporate professionals and 50 companies. At a cost of $5,000 per student and $2,500 per professional, our 2020 budget is $2,500,000 and $1,250,000, respectively for a total of $3,750,000. Our crowdsourced model exists to build partnerships in increments of $5,000, $2,500 & $7,500 each which will fund a student and/or hiring professional and a student to attend this innovative and interactive technology based professional development experience; and collectively provide a year of ongoing mentorship and hiring. As companies sponsor more students and professionals from their companies to attend, they will receive additional perks and benefits to maximize their participation in the activation. We will also procure some larger sponsorships of $250,000, $100,000 and $50,000 as outlined below.
