Sponsors 2008
Our Sponsors are the BEST.
As our size increases, so do our costs.
Our sponsors are one of the main reasons we are able to keep TOJam a free event.
Primary Sponsors
Innovation Toronto fosters creative and innovative approaches to community and social issues
while presenting interesting articles on a variety of innovative initiatives.
Among other things, they are an incubator for new businesses, especially ones focussed on new & world changing ideas.
Finding a space that can handle the electrical, security, size, and all-nighter requirements of TOJam is never easy.
After learning about our event, Innovation Toronto offered to host TOJam #3 unconditionally.
Everyone that attended TOJam #3 loved the space - easily our best location yet.
Extra thanks to Ron Smith and Karen Fraser for their time and support.
Firetoad Software creates video games that push the technology envelope in a different, fun, and exciting manner.
I'm happy to report Toronto stole them from Calgary.
They have been a enthusiastic supporter of TOJam since the beginning.
Extra thanks to Nathan d'Obrenan, whose boundless enthusiasm & endless energy keep us powered up.
Bedlam's mission is to deliver AAA titles born of exceptional design,
fostered by meticulous planning and realized by a world-class team in an unparalleled work environment.
Their support is greatly appreciated. Extra thanks to Trevor Fencott, who was growing the Toronto game development community long before we arrived.
Christopher Locke is a senior director of product development at Capcom Interactive.
Chris went out of his way to sponsor us this year, and we are truly grateful for his support.
FUSE Marketing Group is actively looking for ways to make your brand,
your communication and your money work harder. Games are the latest method of advertising a company's brand.
We're currently exploring opportunities at FUSE for the teams & games created at TOJam.
FUSE sponsored the Sunday evening pizza for everyone that attended.
It was the greatest pizza I ever tasted (crunching for 2 days straight may have been a taste factor).
