7 Steps to C-Level Success!
FAQs
Step 1. Do your homework! Before the event familiarize
Why do celebrities participate in C-Level @ A Mile High?
C-Level @ A Mile High is Colorado Technology Association’s (CTA)
largest fundraiser. Celebrities donate their time and money in
support of CTA so that we continue to be a strong advocate for
the technology industry to policy makers, promote technology
economic and talent development and provide 40+ networking,
mentoring and education programs each year.
What are packages?
Some celebrities offer fun packages to build relationships with
the winning bidders. Packages can include dinner, a golf outing,
a day of skiing or tickets to a sporting event, complimentary
of the celebrity. Celebrity packages will be announced the
morning of 3.12.12
Are project budgets announced?
Most company policies do not allow them to release budgets.
How do I place a bid?
Two ways: 1) At the bid stations located throughout the event,
or 2) through www.bid720.com. Each attendee receives a unique
bid card and # to place their bids, thanks to Windstream. Enter
your bid # into the bid station or simply swipe your card. On
your mobile device, enter your bid # and follow the instructions.
How do I increase my odds of winning a bid?
Set a max bid that can’t be seen by other bidders. You can
always increase your bid at either the bid station or through
www.bid720.com.
How do I know I’ve won?
Once the bid time closes, either swipe your card at the bid
station or enter your bid # into your mobile device and select
“my bids” on the right hand side of the screen to see which
bids you have won. Winning bids will be displayed on screens
throughout the event.
Do I need cash?
Food included. Cash bar for an alcoholic beverage.
